Hi Pavel,

Thank you for looking into this.  I'm a relative novice with
Makefiles.  I am not adding any options that i know, and doing build
off an Ubuntu x86_64.  My general procedure is:

http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=18168

Then I revised the madwifi makefile to use the latest madwifi-free
download and compile it.

Let me get to the punch line ;) On your announcement you mentioned
that some unusual chips may work.  I'm trying to try this madwifi-free
on the Atheros AP81 router platform.  This is an AHB ar9103 chip that
so far no compatible madwifi source has been found.  I figured it was
a long shot, but worth a try.  We already have ath9k working on the
router, but mac80211 needs some serious performance tuning work to run
faster on MIPS routers.  CPU is maxing out with only 10Mbps of
wireless activity.

Anyway, if you have suggestions or patches to switch to madwifi-free
on latest trunk (or 8.09_rc2) on OpenWRT they would be appreciated.
Otherwise I'm going to give up and stay focused on the ath9k
solutions.

Thank you.
