I have a similar problem with my G40 running Fedora Core 2 and the IBM a/b/g 
card with the latest madwifi drivers and the 2.6 kernels; however with the 
2.6.7 kernel I built with FC1 and the madwifi drivers from june, everything 
works fine.  But if I build those same drivers with the 2.6.7 kernel using 
the compiler from FC2, they dont work any better than the later drivers so 
I'm inclined to think its a compiler issue (3.3.3 vs 3.3.2?) but I havent 
taken the time to investigate further.
