Opss. ignore the above .. I didn't zoom on on FC2 thingy - this being
fedora-list..
Last time I tried madwifi with FC2test kernel - I was able to
build/install the driver with the stock kernel. However it misbehaved
after loading (couldn't unload etc..) This is with
kernel-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 madwifi (cvs march-16)
