Why hasn't Livna pushed an update of kmod-madwifi for the latest kernel

wouldn't have any network access without plugging in a hard wire). I've
waited for three days for Livna to push that update and they haven't
done it. What goes on?
The current version doesn't build on 2.6.20. Upstream afaik promised a
new version that is compatible to 2.6.20 for yesterday -- but it's not
there yet afaik. Patches that are of a small size that make it work
would be appreciated, but maybe just waiting for 0.9.3 to come out might
be easier now.

Could you please write a how-to for that? I have an rpm build
environment set up--I used it to build my own rpm's from Sun's Java
binary. (Thanks, Michael Peters.) Does rpm.livna.org have a set of
instructions on how to rebuild a module for any kernel?
TIA.
