This is already fixed in Subversion.  Unfortunately, the trend is that
every new kernel release breaks MadWifi compilation.  The problem is not
specific to MadWifi.  All wireless drivers need adjustments.

There is just no way to release a driver that would definitely compile
for the future kernels.

0.9.3.1 is a security release, so it only includes security fixes, but
not the fixes for Linux 2.6.22 support.
