I am not so sure regarding this problem but I have made a fresh 0.5.1 installation and have found that madwifi in this version seems to have a compile incompatibility as I am getting the following:
voyage:~# iwlist ath0 txpower
Warning: Driver for device ath0 has been compiled with version 22
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 20.
Some things may be broken...
I am using an Engenius 400mW wireless card but it seems that maximum txPower is limited to 63mW. More info in the attached txt file
Regards
Soteris
