I checked this combination, and the only tweaks needed was the removal
of -Werror from Makefile.inc to suppress treating warnings about unused
variables as fatal errors.

Could you please try the latest snapshot from the 0.9.4 branch with the
same kernel?  It should compile with no changes.  The warnings have
been fixed.  This way we'll find out if there is a regression on the
0.9.4 branch or something else fixed your problem.

The 0.9.4 branch is considered a stable branch.  It has been changed
quite conservatively compared to the trunk.  The bug that prevents the
release of the version 0.9.4.1 is present in the 0.9.4 release.  It's a
regression from an older version of MadWifi.  I'm not aware of any
regressions from the 0.9.4 release to the latest 0.9.4 snapshot.
