Hmmm...you must be using the madwifi driver?  It is not part of Fedora.  Have 
you contacted their project for support? 
 
At the very least, have you tried updating to the latest version of their 
driver? 

Comment 4 urorzm+bugzilla.redhat.com 2006-03-14 00:38:50 UTC
I'm sorry, I did really easy miss. I hadn't got madwifi driver for 1833 kernel.
I'll report more carefully next.
