yes, you are ok ;-)

Here is the new SRPM:
http://linux.web.psi.ch/dist/scientific/51/beta/madwifi-0.9.4-14.slp5.src.rpm
containing madwifi-compat.h-kernel-2.6.18-92.el5.patch

However, this SRPM will only work for kernel >= 2.6.18-92.el5. If you 
want to put it into SL50/SL51 you have to update first the kernel to >= 
2.6.18-92.el5.

Or do you know a good way to handle this in the SPEC file, something like

%if %{....}
%patch0 -p0 -b .compat
%endif

to apply the patch only for kernel >= 2.6.18-92.el5?


Hope it works this time
