Bug#446039: madwifi-source: won't complie under 2.6.23

[R E Riding]

Package: madwifi-source
Version: 1:0.9.3.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


after configuring and making kernel 2.6.23 using
make-kpkg, "make-kpkg --added-modules madwifi modules" 
fails with the following error:

The madwifi modules still compile under 2.6.22.9, ruling out
the recent upgrade to gcc-4.2.2-1 (I think).
