Yes, I wanna the new version too.
I have a ThinkPad T60p and the current madwifi 0.9.2.1 doesn't work
well with it. I can only get very poor signal, while other people
using same laptop model with a new madwifi driver got much better
signal strength at the same office location.
I don't know what have changed in the new version. Any other people
have same experiences?
