Today I saw that the 2.6.7-14 has been updated from version 14.30 to 14.33. After applying the update, my madwifi driver stopped working. I'm quite new to Ubuntu, but I understood as long as the ABI version does not change, i.e. 14 in this case, there is no need to rebuild kernel modules.

After recompiling and reinstalling madwifi it worked again.

Is this a problem or did I understand the meaning of ABI wrong? Or is the stability not guaranteed as long as it is still in the proposed repository?
