Either you can compile it by using the latest source from madwifi.org (old code and builds do not support AR242x) or maybe apt-get can help you in getting pre compiled binary drivers in ubuntu
In fedora 9 I did this for support for AR242x series yum --enablerepo=livna-testing install kmod-madwifi i.e. use the livna-testing repo and wireless worked fine. 2008/10/16 Dr. Sharukh K. R.
