This bug was fixed in the package linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 - 2.6.24.12-14.32

---------------
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 (2.6.24.12-14.32) hardy; urgency=low

  * ABI bump to 14.
  * Madwifi 0.9.4 (LP: #208754):
    - fixes compilation for recently released kernel 2.6.24
    - introduces Minstrel rate control algorithm
    - introduces switch to turn ANI (Ambience Noise Immunity) off, which
      can help to improve performance (see also #705)
    - several bug fixes to improve stability
    - now defaults to radiotap headers in monitor mode
    - adds support for variable number of VAPs, tunable via module
      parameter
  * control: Drop the nvidia-kernel-ABIVER dependencies from nvidia-glx*, since
    fglrx is doing just fine without them, and they only create problems
    during upgrades when apt selects the first package to provide the
    virtual package. (LP: #188287)
  * ltmodem/serial.c: Modify to compile with 2.6.24. Enable ltmodem again.
    (LP: #210652)
  * Add openvz flavour.

I am getting I/O errors on my Hardy system when trying to use the 2.6.24-15 kernel with the current (0.9.3-based) madwifi-tools:

I'm not entirely sure this is the cause, but it's certainly plausible. :) If you need more info, I can provide it.
