I mentioned this in another message a while back and never got a reply
to that particular E-Mail.

Have you actually tried it? I was able to build the madwifi drivers
with what's in the kernel install. OTOH, the fglrx driver (ATI) failed
for some obscure reason (implicit declaration of some function or
another).

I'm not on the devel team but I've been interacting with some of them
on some of these issues and other configuration issues. You probably
should post this to the devel list, instead of the user list, and you
should file a bugzilla request, in buzilla.openvz.org, to cover it as
well. Attach your tweaked .spec file to the bugzilla report to them.
