Using a madwifi card on my Dell CP/x laptop gives lots of frame errors,
sample ifconfig output:
ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:6F:20:40:B0
inet addr:192.168.0.2 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

Possible similar problem with madwifi and an O2Micro bridge is solved here
with patch (disabling read prefetch / write burst in CardBridge):

Attachments with system info, any help would be appreciated.
