Hi, thanks for your reply.  But my module doesn't seem to have the  
hal_tpc parameter:

When I try to insert the module with hal_tpc=1, it says "Unknown  
symbol in module, or unknown paramter"

I am using kernel 2.6.27.18 (Ubuntu 8.10) with madwifi 0.9.4 rev 4100  
(which I checked out from madwifi site).  Did you do anything special  
when compiling your kernel or the madwifi driver?  I have scoured the  
Internet for hal_tpc, and it seems like for a lot of people this  
parameter is shown up when modinfo ath_pci is run; however, it's not  
showing up in mine.

Thanks,

Jung
