Perhaps try to compile madwifi for the bigmem kernel manually?
Also try debian-users mailing list, there's a lot more activity there
and you are more likely to get a fast response. If you are still having
troubles I would suggest re-sending your question over to debian-users.
To try a manual compile of madwifi - first make sure you have the
build-essential package installed (as root, aptitude install
build-essential) and then:
# m-a a-i madwifi
It might compile successfully and if it does:
# modprobe -rv ath_pci && modprobe -v ath_pci
If this also seems successful, now check if wireless is working
properly.
Hope this helps.
