New description:
I am trying to bring up 802.11N card on one of the customers board which
is power PC based. I am using 2.6.23 kernel. I was able to compile and
load the drivers and bring up the wifi0 and ath0 interfaces. Any clue what
I could be missing. Is there something changed with 2.6.23 kernels?

Comment:
Please redirect your request to our [wiki:Support regular support
channels] first. Make sure that you include the required information in
your request there (such as the MadWifi version you use). If it turns out
that there really is a bug in the driver you might reopen this ticket
again. Thanks.
