eeeXubuntu 7.10 update of the kernel to 22-15

After update of kernel to 2.6.22-15 on Asus eeePC in eedXubuntu 7.10 wifi stopped working.
downloaded sources from sourceforge,


tar -xf madw*
cd mad*
sudo make all
sudo make install

hsven't got result; modprobe and other hints also are not working.
tried scripts from there -

they are also not working.
now Just using previous version of the kernel to work with wifi.

I also just upgraded to 22-15, also have same problem with wi-fi. Now using 22-14 to solve the problem as well.

I also discovered following:

rtg@deeeb:~$ cat /proc/acpi/asus/wlan
cat: /proc/acpi/asus/wlan: No such file or directory
rtg@deeeb:~$ ls /proc/acpi/asus
ls: /proc/acpi/asus: No such file or directory

it seems that acpi extensions are not working for the new kernel.
