  That is interesting, because it works on Gentoo (gkrellm 2.2.5,
  gkrellmwireless2 2.0.3) with ath0, and seemingly without patches.
  It must depend on some more fundamental differences beetween the
  OSes.
 
  I actually tried 2.0.3 on FreeBSD, but the problem is the same.

  It does, and thank you very much! :)
