This bug is actually in madwifi-old, which is the default for most
Atheros cards in Ubuntu. The madwifi-ng included in Ubuntu is from the
madwifi svn as of 2006-05-29 and it works just fine (on Thinkpad X40 at
least).

Besides, with the madwifi-old driver I can transfer huge amouns of data
with no lockups while sometimes it hangs just a few minutes after
booting, so it's not quite the same issue.

Cheers, Søren.
