[Madwifi-users] T40, works for me too

[Michael F. <mic...@gm...>]

Hi

thanks to all madwifi contributors for the great work.

I just wanted to tell you, that it works nice with my thinkpad T40p
with miniPCI 802.11a/b combo card and Netgear WG602 AP.

since I am using gentoo linux, I just had to "emerge madwifi-drivers"
to compile and install the drivers (madwifi-20030802).

setting everything up was a bit more problematic, until I found out that
madwifi only supports channels up to # 11 in 802.11b mode, but my AP
was set to 12. After I changed that to 7, it now works nicely, even WEP works, and suspend/resume too.
The only little problem is, that if I try to load the ath_pci.o module while in X, my system crashes with blinking caps lock, but when I
load the module and then start X, it works normal.
The range seems to be slightly shorter than when I use an orinoco pc-card.

Nice work!


Michael
