updated the kernel.lzm.

Revert the changes made to kernel.lzm and see if you have any wireless interfaces, then try the procedure I posted above and see if you have any wireless interfaces

The problem is that you guys are not removing the old madwifi driver module first.
before you build the new one try removing the old one like this....
bt~#rmmod ath_pci
