hey, thanks for your reply! I didn't compile the module, I had to 
recompile my kernel for other reasons and now the precompiled madwifi 
module doesn't install any more.

The kernel source I compiled: linux-source-2.6.26-voyage

The madwifi module i tried to install: aptitude install 
madwifi-modules-2.6.26-486-voyage

maybe this occurs because the missing "-484" and there is a version 
mismatch?

Best regards,
Benjamin
