For those bitten by the same bug:

(1) If not already installed, Yast install: kernel-syms-2.6.22.16-0.1

(2) download madwifi-0.9.3.3-0.1.src.rpm from:

http://madwifi.org/suse/10.3/src/madwifi-0.9.3.3-0.1.src.rpm

(3) check current madwifi version if different, as root remove existing
madwifi:

rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep madwifi)

(4) as root, rpmbuild --rebuild madwifi-0.9.3.3-0.1.src.rpm

(5) as root,

modprobe ath_pci && depmod -A

(6) rcnetwork restart (not really required, but never hurts)

That will get you going.

David... I tried that but when I got to # 5, the result was that it
couldn't find the module "ath_pci" :-(
