[SOLVED] Does the installer's MadWifi support AR5008?

I'd like to put Arch on a PC that has no wired ethernet connection, but has an AR5008-chipset wireless card.  I remember from installing Arch on my laptop that some version of madwifi is included in the core iso, but if it doesn't support my chipset I'll have to wait a while.  I believe that AR5008 support is now in the main 'trunk' of MadWifi development, so if it's not in the current core iso, please update that soon.

EDIT: I popped in an i686 core CD, and it worked like a charm.

There is even a link to the MadWifi page through this article.
