Hi and Merry Christmas Wireless Card: D-link PCI GW520, H/W Ver: B4. Operating system: Linux FC7 2.6.21 I installed madwifi-old. The ath0 interface is appearing. Yet when I try to do: iwlist ath0 scan. The result is no results found! Yet it works fine with madwifi-ng and the cells appear. Does this mean the problems is from: a)wireless card doesn't support madwifi-old? b)operating system? c)madwifi-old incompatible with something related to access points or iwlist!? Thank you very much in advance for your help, ~Samir Selman |

Hi. > I installed madwifi-old. You should not. madwifi-old is deprecated since ages, it's known to have unfixed security issues and it's absolutely unsupported. If you still decide to go with madwifi-old, you are on your own. Bye, Mike |

If you're going to use madwifi-old make sure it's the very last release from around February of 2006; I think it's r1417. Also, for scanning to work you'll need up to date wireless tools and extensions.
