Hi,
I compiled and installed the latest MadWifi code in the following way
ayb@AD-DELL:~/Desktop/madwifi-0.9.4-r4133-20100621$ cd scripts
sudo ./madwifi-unload
sudo ./find-madwifi-modules.sh -r $(uname -r)
cd ../
make clean
make
sudo make install
Im using Ubiquity SR71X miniPCI card (the one that plugs into the
external mini slot of a laptop). Inspite of all the above steps
completing successfully, the driver does not recognize the card. Here
are some outputs
ayb@AD-DELL:~/Desktop/madwifi-0.9.4-r4133-20100621$ lsmod | grep ath_pci
ath_pci 86603 0
wlan 193535 1 ath_pci
ath_hal 190909 1 ath_pci
ayb@AD-DELL:~/Desktop/madwifi-0.9.4-r4133-20100621$ lshw -C network

As you can see, even though the driver module is loaded, no wifi0
appears in iwconfig and the card remains unclaimed. Any idea why this
could be happening?
Thanks
