I have the a/b card working fine on my T40 using the CVS version of
the madwifi drivers as of Nov 10. I've been using this card since then
- without any issues with 802.11b networks in the 'Managed' mode -
with and without WEP(48). I've tested it with a 802.11a network for a
few min - in 'Managed' mode without any isssues. I have not tried
'Ad-Hoc' mode.

One of the gotcha's is to compile the driver with either of:
make CC=gcc32
export CC=gcc32; make -e

and not
export CC=gcc32; make
