Announcing the deprecation of the ath5k & mac80211 kmod packages,
previously available from the elrepo repository.

The ath5k & mac80211 kmod packages were provided to address issues
with the two drivers in the Enterprise Linux 5.3 release kernel (the
2.6.18-128.x.y.el5 kernel series).

With the release of Enterprise Linux 5.4 (the 2.6.18-164.x.y.el5
kernel series) both drivers have been revised and so, as a
consequence, the ath5k & mac80211 kmod packages have now been
deprecated.

Users of those packages are advised to delete them and allow the
kernel to provide the required drivers.
