Debian's linux-image-2.6.24 and above will report "x86" as ARCH for i386
and amd64 in linux-2.6.24 packages.

This break madwifi build:

/usr/bin/make -C /usr/src/modules/madwifi modules \
        KERNELPATH=/lib/modules/2.6.24-1-686/build KERNELRELEASE=2.6.24-1-686 KERNELCONF=/lib/modules/2.6.24-1-686/build/.config
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/modules/madwifi'

/usr/src/modules/madwifi/scripts/get_arch.mk:44: *** ARCH mismatch: supplied "x86", determined "i386".  Stop.

Do you think there is better way to address this problem than what is attached
below?

Thanks, Kel.
