I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but I'd like to mention it any way. I appologise if I'm intruding.

I use Madwifi-ng which I get from their sourceforge page. When I updated the kernel, it rather went daft. It refuses to connect to my home wireless router; nor, indeed, the other one which I seem to be able to get every now and again. I recompiled it twice, as I amn't sure that it is working at all. Has any one else seen this sort of behaviour? Is it to do with the Dreaded Kernel Upgrade (DKU)?

Thanks. And, again, I appologise if I've intruded.
