What's the easiest path to having my Atheros wireless cards supported, particularly in C5? In the past, I've chosen to download source and build my own, but that's become a little tiresome. At one point, OpenSUSE was the easy option, but since 10.1 it's dropped madwifi. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Please do not reply off-list

AR5211 802.11ab NIC. I can't answer your C5 question, but all C4.x has worked great with my card. Perhaps your card is newer though.

They have the Madwifi RPMs spun up for C5 already. > > http://atrpms.net/dist/el5/madwifi/I go directly to: http://dl.atrpms.net/sl4-i386/atrpms/ the madwifi are in the stable directory and the wpa_supplicant is in the testing directory. and there is a http://dl.atrpms.net/sl5-i386/atrpms/ directory structure as well.
