You can try my one if you want, or get others from sf or this list. You can find my new patch against todays cvs at http://users.informatik.haw-hamburg.de/~gropp_v/madwifi-2.6.8_and_-mm-04082= 1.patch.bz2 Maybe some can test this and report errors, so those changes can be included into main line. This patch should work with older 2.6 and 2.4 kernel aswell volker gropp |

I noted this problem earlier, and thought I would throw my the patch on my machine(fedora core 2). I tested today's CVS with your patch against FC2's 2.6.7-1(B494.2.2) and 2.6.8-1(B521). Looks good to me, I am up on my Atheros right now sending this email with the 2.6.8 kernel. For the record, the 2.6.7-1 also ran fine with the patch. Anyone else test this patch out?
