Re: [Madwifi-users] Madwifi installation on Fedora

Hi,

I cannot write 'detail' instruction, only some suggestion.

I have experienced similar problem with RH9 and atheros PCI board.

First, you'd better to use newer version of sources from CVS. See FAQ.

Next, if you use PCI type card, not PC-CARD, kudzu find it, think it is
a (regular) lan card, and force assign ethx for the card. If you used
PC-CARD instead (but there is another adapter window size problem), this
problem woldn't happen.

Once kudzu assigns eth1 for the drivers, you will have to re-assign ath0
instead of eth1. It is written in many configuration files, I cannot
show detail. Use grep.
There will be ifcfg-eth1 in network-scripts. You will have to create
suitable ifcfg-ath0 for the device and remove ifcfg-eth1. Wireless type
configuration will be needful.

Anyway, if driver is well loaded, you will be able to use the device by
manually typing (instead of ifup):

ifconfig ath0 up
iwconfig ath0 essid SOME-ESSID
iwconfig ath0 key SOME-KEY-IN-HEX
dhclient (to assign ip/gateway for the device automatically)

Thanks,
Tanaka
