Bug#352126: madwifi-source: 0.svn20060207-1 modprobe -r causes bash to lock up

[Glenn]

Package: madwifi-source
Version: 0.svn20060207-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software


Latest source builds fine with module-assistant. Modprobe works without
complaint, ifup or ifconfig hangs. modprobe -r also hangs, system
couldnt even be rebooted, had to be hard reset. (failed to unmount /
and strangely /home) Reverting to last build resolves problem.
