Re: [Madwifi-users] Does wifi work in Fedora??

[Rodman <ro...@th...>]

Hello,

It looks like the drivers are working properly as you can scan for AP's =
without no problem with "list scan".

Have you tried simply "ifconfig ath0 up"? For example do this...

---------
ifconfig ath0 up
dhcpcd ath0 (assuming your AP has its dhpcd server enabled)
--------

If that doesn't work, try this....

-----------
ifconfig ath0 down
wlanconfig ath0 destroy
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
ifconfig ath0 up
dhcpcd ath0 (assuming your AP has its dhcp server enabled)
---------

  Hi I've been try for months to get my wifi working on my laptop, it =
works perfectly in windows on the same machine but just not in FC6.  I =
like to use FC6 all the time but this is the only think that forces me =
to have to use windows.  Anyone out there willing to give me a hand?

  This is what I'm doing as per the instruction.
