The change to networkmanager enables it to detect if you're using the madwifi-ng (new_ath_* actually). madwifi and madwifi-ng has different API's and the change I've made to wpasupplicant lets it use both depending on a commandline option (which networkmanager can give it because I've taught it to know which driver is used). > I took the subversion madwifi and it did not work, as it would freeze > after a little bit of time and it did not work with NetworkManager.

What am I missing? new_ath_* are the names Ubuntu uses for madwifi-ng in order to let madwifi and madwifi-ng coexist on the system. If you compile them from SVN, they'll be named ath_*.
