I was able to get the livna src.rpm for madwifi to rebuild against the
planet rt kernel (unless there's a new one out I haven't checked)... You
have to hack a bit of the code in I think three places, but nothing too
serious.  If I get some time I can post some patches, but I'm sure this will
all become standard issue in the very near future.  It works with both of
our atheros devices.
