no problems here.  Note the following changes I've always used against
madwifi-svn:

and the build:

make: Entering directory `/home/tharvey/avila/madwifi/src/ng-svn'
The following settings will be used for compilation:
TARGET       : xscale-be-elf
OS           : linux
ARCH         : arm
BUS          : PCI

KMODPATH     : /lib/modules/2.6.15-uc0/net
KMODSUF      : ko
...

and the compiler:

[tharvey at devel ng-svn]$ arm-linux-gcc -v
