There are two bug reports here.
(1) ath5k not working properly.
Sorry, madwifi is partially closed source driver and not supported by anyone.
It is deprecated and unmaintained. You should not install nor use it. The
recommended driver is ath5k.
If ath5k does not work for you, please fill a bug and describe what is wrong
with the driver. Please make sure you don't have any closed source kernel
module (like ath_pci, nvidia, fglrx, etc.) installed before you reproduce and
report the bug with ath5k.
Also, please note that an average user is not expected nor supposed to compile
a kernel module, her/his hardware should work out of box with the default
drivers. If the default drivers have problems with the hardware, either we or
upstream will try to fix them. This is the only way to solve your problem. We
cannot support closed source modules and we will not ship them as they are
believed to infringe the kernel license.
(2) stkwebcam not working properly.
Again, please fill a new bug, mention stkwebcam in the summary and describe
what exactly does not work when you use that driver, append the logs, etc. If
the driver really does not work with your hardware, it can be removed from the
device table of the module but it has to be justified. For that, a description
what is not working and the logs are really needed.
---
Closing as invalid, please report separate bugs for both issues.
