Thanks Niels

I've rebuilt your madwifi patched SRPM and it works ok on the Eee PC .. 
i still don't know what will be the official CentOS  way regarding that 
.. but because madwifi contains 'non-free' stuff, it should be better if 
that rpm would be available from a third-party repo, and not from centos 
extras for example ...
What others think about that ? I'll wait for an official answer before 
updating the wiki page and point to the madwifi rpms (madwifi and 
madwifi module)
