[Voyage-linux] removing madwifi and using ath5k

[Teco Boot]

Hi,

I also tried ath5k, just to verify its status, in daily build voyage.
I could unload ath_pci, or just remove the modules and reboot.
It was weird that modinfo still showed sizes of ath_pci etc, but I removed these modules and performed reboot.
Maybe it is caused by references in /lib/modules/(kernel)/modules.deb.bin, and these are hard to modify (for me...).
I'll retry later.

Thanks, Teco
