Hello Yevgen,

I have had better luck by getting the newest linux-wlan-ng source
directly from the AbsoluteValue website, here:

           ftp.linux-wlan.org/pub/linux-wlan-ng

I had been using the pre23 version successfully with kernel 2.6.9 
(686-smp).  Then kernel 2.6.10 broke pre23.  pre24 had a segfault 
problem; they released pre25 the next day and it works (for me 
anyway) with kernel 2.6.10, built with make-kpkg.

I have always built the module after untarring source to 
/usr/src/modules and then following the instructions in the README 
file included.  It is just make config / make all / make install 
as the readme describes.

Try it!
