Package: madwifi-source
Version: 1:0.9.2+r1842.20061207-2
Severity: important

After upgrading from linux-image-2.6.18-4-686 2.6.18.dfsg.1-9 to
2.6.18.dfsg.1-10, wireless lan doesn't work any longer. The kernel
modules get loaded, ath0 and wifi0 devices are present, but iwlist
doesn't find any wireless networks.

I also tried 1:0.9.2+r2085.20070207-1, but it doesn't help.

Downgrading to 2.6.18.dfsg.1-9 fixes the problem, but I filed the bug
against madwifi-source because the Debian kernel team doesn't support
tainted kernel.
