Everytime i try to do something with wireless (even something as
simple as 'ifconfig ath0 up'!!), the system hangs. The strange thing,
though - if i do a compile of the madwifi package myself, using the
exact same (from ABS) PKGBUILD on my Arch64 system... everything works
out fine!! No system hangs anymore...

Has nobody else ecnountered this problem? This is with the most recent
version of madwifi - 0.9.2-2, and kernel26 2.6.18.1-2
