I have I/O data WN-AG/CB(Atheros 5212 based Cardbus Card).

Until yesterday, it worked well with the latest madwifi cvs and  
kernel-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1(Fedora Core2 test2 original) ,but with kernel 
2.6.4-x didn´t work by null pointer exception at boot sequence.

After today´s yum update, madwifi with 2.6.4-1.305 kernel works well too!
