Re: [Madwifi-devel] Unable to connect...

OK, I finally got something going and for those of you who are having the 
same issues I have been having here are the details:

- I reinstalled RedHat to make sure I had a clean system that did not have 
all the crap I had left around from experimenting.
- I built and installed the 12-22-2005 version of the madwifi driver.

Then through a little experimentation I realized that I needed to set ALL 
the parameters for the connection not just the basics. So I put a script 
together:

modprobe ath_pci
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode adhoc
iwconfig ath0 essid "dave"
ifconfig ath0 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0
iwpriv ath0 mode 1
iwconfig ath0 channel 44
iwconfig ath0 rate 54M
ifconfig ath0 up

now I can ping up a storm and SO FAR everything is OK.
Can anyone think of anything else I should add?
