Greetings,

my Laptop has an Atheros AR5007EG mini PCIe WiFi card. This card is not supported by madwifi yet( "Hardware revision not supported" error in the proprietary hal part), but the PCIID was also used for other cards, that are supported, so it's always being loaded. But after ath_pci has been loaded once, the card is put into a non functional state, so that ndiswrapper can't use it.

Usually i just solve this problem by blacklisting ath_pci in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, but even though i used the Permanent Disk Image feature, it is still being loaded during autodetection.

Is there a way, besides remastering, to prevent the ath_pci (and other ath_*) module to be loaded?
