ring some bells from the past. You probably use an old version of 
madwifi sources, that does not work with the atheros chip in the eee.  
We used to distribute a patched package (madwifi-eeepc-source), but 
this is no longer necesary.

Get fresh madwifi-source package from Sid, build and install the 
-modules package from it using module-assistant, unload/reload the 
module and all should be fine.
