[Avila] Madwifi

[Chris Lang]

You are right in seeing that the option "-short-load-bytes" is decprecated, 
however it has not been removed from the makefile by madwifi until today. My 
suggestion would be to either use the madwifi from the BSP or if you would 
like to build the bleeding edge version use the latest revision witch is 
r1644 which was just fixed today in the morning.

Thanks,
Chris L
