Try removing kernel-modules-madwifi-std-def and installing
kernel-modules-madwifi-ar5007-std-def -- it's documented at
"Desktop 4.1 notes" in Russian here:

http://www.altlinux.org/%D0%97%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B5%D1%87%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F_%D0%BF%D0%BE_Desktop_4.1

You might also want to try this alternative kernel:

http://www.unsafe.ru/lakostis/RPMS/ALTLinux/kernel-2.6.28/repo/i586/RPMS.hasher/

echo "rpm http://www.unsafe.ru/lakostis/RPMS/ALTLinux/kernel-2.6.28/repo i586 hasher" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get install update-kernel
update-kernel -t lks-wks

Also CC'ing some folks which were spotted hacking on EeePC.
