Bug/issue confirmed in Intrepid Ibex Alpha 1.

Standard procedure for madwifi special branch source fails to install on an EeePC 701 4g(not surf). Bug is known and referenced at http://madwifi.org/ticket/1999 patch is available at this site, and I've also attached the patch to this comment. Patch is for special madwifi package: madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3698-20080604.tar.gz

This is how I've managed to compile and install the drivers on Intrepid:

tar zxvf madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3698-20080604.tar.gz
cd madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3698-20080604
mv ../string_literal.patch .
patch -p0 < string_literal.patch
make clean
make
make install
