 I'm going to try to proceed with the installation of the drivers as follows
- get madwifi to compile but don't install
- patch madwifi driver and compile again
- Install patched modules

 I've consulted the madwifi documentation ( @ www.madwifi.org), specfically the 'First Time User' HOWTO. It says for debian derived distributions (like ubuntu) I need to install these packages:
- build-essential
- linux-headers-$(uname -r)
+ * build-essential

 Once these are installed, I downloaded the madwifi latest version (I picked the latest arbitrarily, as the ubiquiti documentation didn't specify a compatible version. )

+I checked the requirements and it looks like all of them are met. I'm going to assume the running kernel is configured with the necessary options other wise the previous version of madwifi would have had a problem.

+I discovered the build problems section of the madwifi documentation list this error first (http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/BuildProblems). Unfortunately the thing they claim is a problem issn't. They said a certain symbolic link was missing, but I checked and the link was there. There is also some rambiling about trying to complie the kernel. Running make on the kernel source tree also fails in a grand fashion.
