Oh, and I'm amazed that somebody is using dadwifi-openhal verify the
hardware!  It's in a pretty poor shape right now.  It prints some
warnings because it starts with channel 0.  The interface can be brought
up if you set a valid channel, and I think it might scan.

And if you want to use madwifi-old-openhal for the purpose of testing,
please use today's revision, or it will corrupt memory due to incorrect
get_order() rounding that Linus has reverted in 2.6.21-rc4 (the fix is
not in wireless-dev.git yet).
