Check either the pci id of your WLAN card with lspci (I'd suppose it to be
168c:001c) or the bottom of your notebook (there should be a sticker with
information for the built-in WLAN card, I'd suppose it mentions
"AR5BXB63").  If any of these two assumptions is correct, your WLAN card
uses a chipset of the AR5007 family, for which only experimental support
is available for x86 (32bit) so far. Please refer to ticket 1679 for
further information: http://madwifi.org/ticket/1679.
