Bug#446090: build error for 2.6.23

[Harald Dunkel]

Package: madwifi-source
Version: 1:0.9.3.2-1

The madwifi module doesn't build for kernel 2.6.23. It says

make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.23'
   CC [M]  /usr/src/modules/madwifi/ath/if_ath.o
   CC [M]  /usr/src/modules/madwifi/ath/if_ath_pci.o

AFAICS this is a known problem upstream. See http://madwifi.org/ticket/1476
for a patch.
