That should only affect the sources of ath_info, which is a separate
utility that should not be needed for the normal use.  The actual driver
sources should be of the correct revision.

Relative URLs in Subversion externals would have prevented this problem.
However, they are only supported in Subversion 1.5 and newer, and the
1.4 clients are still widespread (at least they were widespread in the
days of active MadWifi development).

If the problem is easily reproducible for you, it would be helpful if
you try to bisect the revision that introduced the problem.
