Comment (by genewitch):
Actually, kernel updates don't actually break the drivers.
if a kernel/driver update messes up your connection do this:
rmmod ath_pci
rmmod ath_hal
cd <madwifi_source_tree>
make install
shutdown -r now
And upon reboot it will work again.
i've tried rmmod then modprobe ath_pci after running make install, but it
doesn't do it. the actual kernel module is only fully unloaded upon
reboot, i think.
You don't need to clean and do a full recompile each time, just re-install
the already built madwifi drivers, hence "make install" is all you need to
do.
Thanks again for great drivers, guys. and i hope this helps everyone who
lost their connections with this week's kernel patches.
