I had this problem and solved it by upgrading to the latest snapshot.

http://snapshots.madwifi-project.org/madwifi-0.9.4-current.tar.gz, which is dated 21June2010.

You just need to download it and rename the tar to: madwifi-0.9.4-r4133-20100621.tar.gz.  Then rename the madwifi-ng-tools and madwifi-ng ebuilds in your overlay from "0.9.4.4119.20100201" to "0.9.4.4133.20100621".

Hope this helps.

Guys, I don't have access to atheros based card at the moment, so I need your help. Please, check that this ebuilds work for you:

svn co http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/dev/pva/net-wireless/madwifi-ng/ 
svn co http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/dev/pva/net-wireless/madwifi-ng-tools/

Both ebuilds compile/work fine here.  Thanks.

Thank you guys. Bumped in the tree. Will stabilize in month.

[Comment 7 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2010-12-05 12:25:56 UTC]

Arch teams, please, stabilize:

madwifi-ng-0.9.4.4133.20100621
madwifi-ng-tools-0.9.4.4133.20100621

[Comment 8 Agostino Sarubbo 2010-12-05 13:48:45 UTC]

Checking for suitable kernel configuration options...
 *   madwifi-ng-0.9.4.4133.20100621 requires CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT selected by some Wireless LAN drivers (e.g CONFIG_IPW2100)
 * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly.


archtester ~ # grep CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT /usr/src/linux-2.6.34-gentoo-r12/.config
CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS=y

There isn't it.

Please, read warning twice :) You need to enable some driver, e.g. CONFIG_IPW2100 to make it available...
