The only problem I had with the madwifi drivers was getting them working 
with wep.

I needed to add a:

     pre-up /sbin/iwpriv ath0 authmode 2

to the interface config in /etc/network/interfaces.  If that's not there 
it wouldn't do wep at all, but it worked fine without it.  Nothing 
resulted in any sort of locking up though.

I got the drivers from here:

:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/madwifi

and it looks like I checked them out on 2004-11-17 - perhaps the CVS 
HEAD has been borked, so you could try checking out that old version?

Cheers,

Doug.
