Which updates are you talking about-
madwifi, it was updated some days ago, to be exact, version
0.1_pre20050809 released on 2005/08/10 12:44:19, while previously I was
using
0.1_pre20050420.
If downgrading to 20050420 doesn't work, try upgrading to the latest
baselayout. An older baselayout triggers the problem for me.

Hmmmm. I'm running ~x86 systems, and just synced yesterday, so I must be
about as current as possible. I've had no problems with wifi.
UPDATE: Seems I'm still using 0.1_pre20050420, so apparently yesterday's ~x86
sync and -uD world didn't pull in 0.1_pre20050809.
I've had the same problem here; using a 3com OfficeConnect (3CXJK10075 I
think). I've just rebuild my laptop and used 0.1_pre20050809 and it
didn't work.
I tried different kernel settings, different versions of madwifi-driver
and madwifi-tools, along with wireless-tools and wpa_supplicant. In the
end I had to remove all the modules (rm -Rf /lib/modules) and reinstall
all the modules before rebuilding wireless-tools, madwifi-driver,
madwifi-tools in that order.
