Re: [Madwifi-users] FW: installing Proxim 8470-WD

ifcfg-ath0 is going to be a script used by your OS... it's not 
something that you *need*.

I use Slackware and do pretty much everything by hand.

To get a fully connected card I'd do something like:

ifconfig ath0 up
iwconfig ath0 essid "SSID here"
dhcpcd ath0

Are you running a DHCP server at all?  Linux doesn't automatically grab 
an IP for you... you need to tell it to.

What about statically assigning an address?  That might work too... at 
least for testing.
