I have the same one.

> FWIW I had no stability issues with madwifi-ng 0.9.4 with wpa_supplicant 0.5.7 with 2.6.25-gentoo-r7, and IIRC that was with only the old 80211 stuff turned on in the kernel. (??IEEE80211 instead of MAC80211??)

Mine works great except it freezes the whole system when starting ath0
in master mode if I have SMP enabled in my kernel:
