hi
i compiled the cvs-code from http://madwifi.sourceforge.net/ around jan. 16th with kernel 2.6.10/debian-sid
and everything worked like a charm on my ibm x40. about 2 weeks later
wlan stopped working with the error msg below (though i didn't touch the systems configuration). after removing and reinstalling the modules and an apt-get dist-upgrade everything was fine again. yesterday the error msg popped up while booting again and even "Try loading the module ath_pci with the parameter:xchanmode=0" from the madwifi-faq ( http://www.mattfoster.clara.co.uk/madwifi-faq.htm ) doesn't help.
help ? anyone?
kind regards duncan
