Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-23-686

in order for the atheros dualmode card in my new macbook to work at all the new_wlan_scan_sta module needs to be loaded.

it is not loaded by the hotplug system on startup. i have to modprobe it manually.

A fix for this was tested by Ryan, and he said it was all good. Now I just need to convince mdz to let it in. ;)

This is still not completely fixed... on i386 "depmod -a" generates a modules.dep that includes both madwifi-ng/new_wlan.ko and madwifi/wlan.ko as dependencies for the madwifi-ng modules. See attached.

Neither one of these drivers work on my Thinkpad T60p, only the old kernel-included ath_pci and friends (as was in 2.6.15-22) work.
