using debian, installed madwifi succesfully, and now my modprobe ath_pci returns:
arning: loading /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/madwifi/ath_hal.o will taint the kernel: non-GPL license - Proprietary
See http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted for information about tainted modules
Module ath_hal loaded, with warnings
Module wlan loaded, with warnings
Module ath_rate_onoe loaded, with warnings
/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/madwifi/ath_pci.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/madwifi/ath_pci.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/madwifi/ath_pci.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/madwifi/ath_pci.o: insmod ath_pci failed
any help is appreciated, thank you
PS: ifconfig returns:

eth0 no wireless extensions.
ALSO: my method of madwifi installation that worked (i think) was:
adding "deb http://debian.isg.ee.ethz.ch/public sarge madwifi" to /etc/apt/sources.list and then as root: "apt-get update; apt-get install module-assistant madwifi-source kernel-headers-$(uname -r)" and then "m-a a-i madwifi"
ALL help is welcome.
