Comment 10 for bug 76294

Hi,
I know that this is not an appropriate patch but at least it works as a temporal hack for those who need working wifi drivers:

checkout the latest svn version of madwifi at madwifi.org
rename the folder to "madwifi-0.9.2.1" (how is described there)

download the sources:

apt-get source linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-5-generic

tar the madwifi source like:

tar -jc madwifi-0.9.2.1 > madwifi-0.9.2.1.tar.bz2

and copy it to:

linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-2.6.20.1/madwifi-0.9.2.1.tar.bz2

remove the "madwifi/patch" folder and change the debian/rules file as followed:
search for: "split_modules += madwifi/ath/ath_hal" and change it to:

"split_modules += madwifi/ath_hal/ath_hal"

Install all build dependencies:

sudo apt-get build-dep linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-5-generic

invoke "fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage" inside the linux-restricted directory

this should build a new version of the restricted module package with the latest svn version of madwifi!

I hope this works for you too! At least it does for me :)
