They were originally made for gNewSense but also work well on most Ubuntu and Debian systems. They are handrolled by a gentleman who's name I cannot recall at the moment (I believe it's Aurele Ligunduz), but I have used them on some of my other computers and they worked just fine, especially the newer ones which contain improved versions of the recently unshackled ath5k and ath9k wireless modules.
