Hmm. My AR5006EG works just fine with madwifi-ng. ;-)
64-bits just aren't worth it on the desktop.
They are if you have 4G RAM or more. ;-)

I apologize: it isn't clear from my message, that I want to migrate
from a single core AMD 64 to a dual core AMD 64X2 processor. I only
intended to comment obtusely about 64 vs 32 bits, but I think I muffed
that.
Your comment about the -CFLAGS was pertinent. Thank you.
