Wow. Here I can't do tests since my only other local machine has slow
wifi, but yes, ath9k form 2.6.27-rc5 works fine too (except that that
card won't reconnect to the AP if it goes down then up unless I reload
the driver... fortunately, my AP doens't go down that often).

Well, since ath9k is working well, I don't think I'll try to go back to
madwifi. Now the only drawback is, module-assistant doesn't succed any
more in building modules: I'm under the impression it tries to use the
2.6.26 headers...
Manuel.
