[Madwifi-users] madwifi and Suse 10.3

[Bernd S. <st...@we...>]

Hello, short Info:

i am using madwifi a long Time with my Phillips SNN6500 PCMCIA Card.
Now i tryed Suse 10.3beta2 on my Laptop for Testing.
Yast does not recognize the Networkdevice ath0 - it appears, could be
configured but it is not saved/usable after leaving Yast.
( no entry in /etc/sysconfig/network for ath0 )
The other device ( Ethernet wired / eth0 ) worked normal.

It could be a Bug in Yast, or some new changes in Suse 10.3 ?
Also i am using a beta Vesion of Suse - this could be the Error too.
but:
When setting up the Device with iwconfig/iwlist/ifconfig and starting
wpa_supplicant by "Hand" the Interface starts correct and is usable.

Used latest madwifi sources, Kernel 2.6.22.5 from Suse 10.3.
That you have to use the nearly latest sources for Kernel 2.6.21/22
is written bevor - only for Info if some People have Problems compiling
the madwifi Drivers for 2.6.22.

Sorry for my english...

Thanks for madwifi - Bernd

following: a bash script for starting the device in such environment

-----snap----

#!/bin/bash

iwconfig ath0 essid YourSSID
iwconfig ath0 channel 06
wpa_supplicant -Dmadwifi -iath0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf &
ifconfig ath0 192.168.178.202
# your ip Adress for the devive - i do not use dhcp
route add default gw 192.168.178.1
# the ip of my router is set directly for routing
