I've applied two patches by Johannes "fix wext_ioctl() exit path" and "fix cfg80211 modular compile w/o wext-compat", and MadWifi is working fine now. On the other hand, DadWifi won't compile: /home/proski/src/dadwifi/ath/if_ath_d80211.c: In function 'ath_d80211_calc_bssid_mask': /home/proski/src/dadwifi/ath/if_ath_d80211.c:305: error: 'struct ieee80211_hw' has no member named 'perm_addr' The same problem exists with iwlwifi. I'm away from my bcm43xx card at the moment. I'll post more if I find any problems with either upgrading the driver or wireless extensions for d80211 enabled drivers. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
