           Summary: madwifi drivers doesn't work in 2.6.12-6-686

           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: linux-restricted-modules

The madwifi driver does not work

modprobe -vv ath_pci says:

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.12-6-686/kernel/drivers/volatile/ath_hal.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.12-6-686/kernel/drivers/volatile/wlan.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.12-6-686/kernel/drivers/volatile/ath_rate_sample.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.12-6-686/kernel/drivers/volatile/ath_pci.ko

that means the drivers are build correctly but dmesg says only 
and why will ath_rate_sample.ko be loaded it should be something like
ath_rate_onoe.ko
and where is the 80211.ko

[4294840.753000]     ACPI-0700: *** Error: acpi_ev_gpe_dispatch: No handler or

the card is an D-Link DWL-G650 with:
0000:02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg
NIC (rev 01)

the Card worked with latest drivers in 2.6.10 and selfcompiled with 2.6.12-1

iwconfig says: 

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

sit0      no wireless extensions.

irda0     no wireless extensions.

seems that ath0 is missing :-(

any ideas and what's up with that new "build-the-true-modules-at-bootup" system
crazy idea to not provide new packages for every new kernelfixup but it should
let the modules work...
