hi,

some things changed in 2.6.8 so you need a small patch. You can try my
one if you want, or get others from sf or this list. You can find my new
patch against todays cvs at
http://users.informatik.haw-hamburg.de/~gropp_v/madwifi-2.6.8_and_-mm-040821.patch.bz2

Maybe some can test this and report errors, so those changes can be
included into main line. This patch should work with older 2.6 and 2.4
kernel aswell
