madwifi for dummies?

[kusti]

Ok, I see that. But right after that ath0 stuff comes something like this:

kernel BUG at fs/proc/generic.c:685!
invalid operand: 0000 [#1]

and some other messages, like call trace where it says wlan, ath_pci and something else.

is that related? should I post the whole dmesg end?
