Hi - I'm having a strange problem here. I just did a fresh install of Hardy on a rev. 3 MBP. I followed the instructions on the wiki(I have done these installs many times) and installed MadWiFi from the svn repo first. That turned out to be pretty flaky, so I then deleted that, downloaded the most recent release, and that worked fine. I turned the machine off for the evening and today, no wifi. The hardware is detected, the modules are loaded but the interface does not show up:

If I reboot into OS X, Wifi works properly.

Thanks.
