I have a PCI Express card that works with the Atheros HAL (ticket 1679),
and thus should be 5007.

Actually, ath_info didn't work initially, even with the patched driver.
Then I loaded unpatched madwifi trunk, and the card didn't work with it,
obviously.  Then I loaded the patched madwifi again, and it would not
work (HAL error 3).  Then I rebooted, and after that the device moved
from 05:00.0 to 03:00.0, changed its memory address, and this time,
ath_info worked.

That's another indicator that ath_info has issues with some PCI busses.
Perhaps it should be rewritten as a kernel module to make such issues
transparent.

The chip is fully covered with a metal cover, but since the ticket 1679
is called "Support for AR2425 (AR5007EG) chipset", and I have verified
that the Atheros patch is required for supporting that card, we can
conclude that it's "AR5007EG 802.11bg NIC (2.4GHz, PCI Express)"

Do you want me to write to the robot?
