Re: [Mactel-linux-users] How to uninstall madwifi driver

[Tomás T. <tom...@gm...>]

Yes, I Can see "wmaster0", "wlan0" and a strange "pam0" interfaces. The 
strange thing is that with a clean installation or with a live-CD, wlan0 shows 
the available networks and can connect to them, but after having installed 
madwifi, and then uninstalled it (or blacklisted the ath_pci module), the wlan0 
interface find any network. And yes, all the interfaces are up (thank you very 
much, k11stan).

My macbook version is (2,1), and I have never used the bcmxx module, no 
broadcom chips are present in this version.

Thank you very much
