The way you load MadWifi-related modules is flawed. It seems that you
simply try to load every module you have (which can be seen by the fact
that more than one rate control module get loaded). Anyway, the cause of
the resulting "sysctl table check failed" message (and, from what I can
tell, the reason for the kernel exception) has been fixed in r3719.
The right way to load MadWifi would be {{{modprobe ath_pci}}}. However,
this requires a kernel that is able to load modules itself. Yours is not,
as already has been noted in [comment:1 comment 1].
I close this ticket as duplicate of #1864, which is already fixed. If you
have any further questions about what has been said above, please contact
our [wiki:Support regular support channels]. Thanks.
