The ath(4) driver in general may work on 4.0, but will the Eee's ath card 
work? Apparently that patch is needed, so I would not say it works on 4.0, 
until someone can actually confirm this (4.0 on an eeepc).

What do I put for "driver" here?
I guess this is the point where *I* would like go see instructions with 
some details on what i should install (XFree or not, what packages for 
X.org, if, ...)

Same question as above (what driver, ...)?
