Because the network service conflict with madwifi. Do the following:

1) Network service need to be turned off

  • System->preference->sessions
  • make sure the network manager applet is checked
  • There will be an icon on the right top corner for network management
  • Disable the network manager using the UI icon by right click the icon->disable netowrking
  • Verify the network manager is disable by left click the icon (you should see network disable)

2) reboot

3) Verify again the network manager is disable by left click the icon (you should see network disable)

4) Try to create the adhoc mode by using wlanconfig, it should not have kernal panic anymore =)
