Bug#434702: Please sync with trunk snapshot - new chipset support/better signal strength

[Tim Hull]

Package: madwifi-source
Version: 0.9.3-3
Severity: wishlist

Currently, the release version of madwifi is missing a significant amount of
functionality when compared to the trunk builds at madwifi.org.  For one
thing, the trunk builds add support for 802.11n Atheros chipsets, which are
found in many new systems containing Atheros chipsets including the MacBook
Core 2 Duos.  Furthermore, I have consistently noticed a 20% gain in signal
strength using the trunk as compared to the release - certainly a
significant increase.  Finally, I'm seeing an increase in association speed
when using NetworkManager on the trunk builds as compared to the release

Is it possible to sync this package to a trunk build, add a new
"madwifi-source-trunk" package, or put a trunk madwifi-source in
experimental?  It seems like it would be beneficial to many users...
