Oh thank you so much vnieto and everyone else working on this. I have
spent the last couple of days trying to get this to work and after a
couple tries of going though your build steps and restarts I managed to
get it to compile right.

Just to note this is on a HP dv6812nr with Turion 64x2. In case anyone
else seems to have the same problem.

The Eee PC has non-working wireless out of the box. A patch is available from the madwifi website:

I'd like to have working wireless in hardy, without having to patch/compile manually :)
