NetworkManager (NO PATCH) w/ madwifi + wext patch WORKS

["Eli Criffield" <elicriffield gmail com>]

I'm using NetworkManager unpatched from todays (20060330) cvs with
madwifi from current svn 1486 with the patch from this web ticket
http://madwifi.org/ticket/462
And all is well. No need for Roberts patch, It works with the standard wext.

I had to make two changes for NetworkManager to work with ubuntu dapper.
remove "-Wshadow" from configure.in (know bug in ubuntu
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/29692 )

and add

[ -d /var/run/NetworkManager ]  || mkdir /var/run/NetworkManager
[ -d /var/run/wpa_supplicant ] || mkdir /var/run/wpa_supplicant

to d_start() in /etc/init.d/NetworkManager because ubuntu /var/run is
a tmpfs so every reboot you loose thouse directories.

Should thouse two lines be added to cvs in the debian startup script
or have a diffrent startup script for ubuntu?
