Great! Any chance you could also provide the source package for 

  http://www.voyage.hk/dists/experimental/madwifi/madwifi-modules-2.6.26-486-voyage_0.9.4~rc2-1+6.0-3_i386.deb

? I'm getting a 

  ath_pci: cannot reserve PCI memory region

error when loading the ath_pci module, which is likely caused by a coreboot
bug that I'd like to track down. I don't get it with the standard voyage 

  madwifi-modules-2.6.26-486-voyage_1%3a0.9.4+r3772.20080716-1+6.0-2_i386.deb

but I run into the 'stuck beacon' madwifi/hostap problems with that revision
of course.

The various madwifi source versions are such a jungle that it would be nice
to get the exact source that causes this issue in order to try to figure out
what's missing in the coreboot port for the alix.2c3.

Thanks,
Ward.
