Version: 1:0.9.2+r1842.20061207-2
Severity: normal

Madwifi version 0.9.3 was released 11 days ago.  This version should associate
much better with various home networking gear which can emit malformed packets
from time to time (like the AirPort).  Other release notes from
http://madwifi.org/wiki/Releases/0.9.3 :
    * switch to newer HAL, v0.9.18.0
    * ensure compilation against recent kernel versions up to 2.6.20
    * ensure compatibility back to kernel 2.4.22, drop support for 
      2.4.21 and older
    * allow compilation without support of features such as fast frames,
      turbo mode, etc.
    * support for some PCI Express cards fixed
    * some security-related issues have been patched
    * interoperation with wpa_supplicant and hostapd improved
    * real channel noise instead of fixed -95dBm noise floor presented
    * lots of bugs fixed, for different architectures and various modes
      of operation
    * further improvements for build system
