I tested it against Linus' head version (it applied with minor
modifications) on my HP NC6000 laptop with this built-in Atheros card:

02:04.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11=
abg
NIC (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Compaq Computer Corporation Unknown device 00e5

Basically it works, but I think the sc->led_on in:

needs to be:

for the AR5212 in the HP laptop.

See also the changes to if_ath_pci.c in:
 http://madwifi.org/attachment/ticket/1018/led.patch
and
 http://madwifi.org/ticket/1018
for an old discussion about madwifi for LEDs in the HP box.

Without this change the LED stays on after a "rmmod ath5k" as well.
