Bug#473709: madwifi-source: Connection drops within an hour

[Bill Wohler]

Package: madwifi-source
Version: 1:0.9.4~rc2-1
Severity: normal

After a recent upgrade to madwifi-source version 1:0.9.4~rc2-1 and
linux-image-2.6.24-1-686, my network connection drops within an hour.
Under linux-image-2.6.22-3-686 and version 1:0.9.3.2-2 of
madwifi-source, my connection would remain up indefinitely.

Unfortunately, I don't see any diagnostics in /var/log.

I'm going to try installing the etch version of madwifi-source with
2.6.24 and I'll report back. That should tell us whether this is a
madwifi-source or kernel problem, eh?
