Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I reinstalled the ubuntu restricted modules package to get the old driver
back.
The madwifi-old driver is functioning again.
I unloaded it manually:
{{{
# modprobe -r ath_pci
# lsmod | grep ath
#
}}}
It definitely is unloaded.
I then proceeded to perform the build:
{{{
# mv madwifi-ng/ madwifi-ng-r1472
# svn checkout http://svn.madwifi.org/trunk madwifi-ng
...pulls down r1473 successfully...
# cd madwifi-ng
# make clean KERNELPATH=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)

# make KERNELPATH=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)
CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4

# make install KERNELPATH=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)

WARNING:
It seems that there are modules left from previous MadWifi installations.
If you are unistalling the MadWifi modules please press "r" to remove
them.
If you are installing new MadWifi modules, you should consider removing
those
already installed, or else you may experience problems during operation.
Remove old modules?
[l]ist, [r]emove, [i]gnore or e[x]it (l,r,i,[x]) ?

I rebooted with the PCMCIA card removed, just to be sure, and reinserted
it.
