To fix: run 'abs', makepkg abs version of madwifi, 'pacman -Rd madwifi', 'pacman -A <madwifi-package.tar.gz>', and 'ifconfig ath0 up' again. Everything works!! Try using the wireless, try running kismet... Everything's ok.

trying kernel26beyond now - madwifi-beyond works fine here (same version - 0.9.2-2) - so I know it's definitely a compilation problem. Does nobody have this problem at all??
