We have a new kernel development image available for orbit.

http://www.orbit-lab.org/wiki/Documentation/SupportedImages/wireless-2.6.ndz

--

Image name: wireless-2.6.ndz
Image size: 622 MB

New items:

 * nodeagent4
 * based on wireless-2.6.git tree, everything branch
 * 2.6.24-rc1
 * mac80211
 * mac80211 drivers (ath5k!)
 * libnl (with genl support)
 * iw

The sources are available on /usr/src/ as this is a development image.
If you want to hack on ath5k you can simply hack on /usr/src/ath5k/
directory so you don't have to recompile the entire kernel each time
you make changes. To get the latest updates you can do an svn update
from /usr/src/ath5k/ directory as the svn repository on madwifi
reflects changes on wireless-2.6.git.

If you'd like to send patches upstream:

If you'd like to start using git:
