Hi Jonas,

Another victim of the SBP here. :)

Your patch does not apply cleanly in the current cvs. There were not many
changes, but the normal diff isn't the best way of creating patches.
You may use unified diff format for more durable patches: "diff -ru
origmadwifidir newmadwifidir > mypatch.patch"

It does work for me. It is clearly a dirty hack, but works. My only
station is a Dell laptop with a broadcom g interface used with
ndiswrapper. Most of the time I can't notice the card reset, but
sometimes TCP connections hang a bit and rarely I have to reboot
the laptop for it to see the network
again.

Thank you for the hack. At least I can use my wireless again.

Abraços,
Gustavo
