Hello, I just installed Centos 5.2 on my wife's IBM thinkpad T41 with Atheros wireless. It looks like I need to install madwifi to get the wireless to work. Our home wireless network uses WPA2 I found the EL5 rpms at atrpms, but there is no madwifi-kmdl rpms for kernel 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5. So, to get the wireless working on my home network, what's the shortest path from here? Install madwifi from source (was part the...

Hi all, I am trying to compile madwifi for CentOS-4 without success. Error is: Checking if all requirements are met... ok. mkdir -p ./symbols for i in ./ath_hal ath_rate/onoe ./net80211 ./ath; do \ (cd $i; make) || exit 1; \ done make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/madwifi/ath_hal'' make -C /lib/modules/2.6.9-5.0.3.EL...

I want to buy a laptop and install CentOS 4 on it and have the wifi work when I'm done. (Hoping for reasonable specs: 2GHz, 40GB drive, 1/2 to 1 GB RAM, CD-ROM, light and thin, 13 or 14 inch screen....) Any recommendations?

I have not installed the madwifi specific kernel stuff (kdml and hal-kdml) from atrpms. I have installed with wpa rpms. And my Atheros card is working with almost no work on my part (other than runing wpa_supplicant as a deamon). Nice!

My OQO boxes have the AR5413 wifi chipset, so for the first time in quite a while, I again need to run madwifi. So I went looking for the dkms madwifi rpms, but could not find them. They use to be on rpmforge, as I recall. dkms is there. So have I lost some memory cells or have these rpms taken a hike?

...t for it at ATrpms: http://www.atrpms.net/dist/el5/hibernate-suspend2/ http://www.atrpms.net/dist/el5/kernel-suspend2/ The later is the kernel patches that they refer to at the Suspend2 website, so I don't have to recompile the kernel? I noticed that over at: http://www.atrpms.net/dist/el5/madwifi/ There are even rpms for BOTH Suspend2 and Madwifi (my situation, and I have been using the 'regular' madwifi parts for over a year now). So can anyone give me a bit of guidance/confirmation on setting up Suspend2. Thanks.

I rebuilt my notebook that has the atheros card in it, and forgot to save all of my setup to get it working. I am using dkms and the madwifi rpms from rpmforge. My modprobe.conf has a line: alias wifi0 ath_pci I can ifconfig wifi0 up But the command: /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant -dd -D madwifi -i wifi0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf fails. Now some of my old notes mention using ath0 and a line in modprob...

Kudzu is not recognizing my Atheros card. Actually I was having this problem with the plus kernel and I fell back to 2.6.9-34.0.2 Running on ethernet until I can figure out what to update.

Hello Pkg-xen-devel list, I am running lenny with xen-linux-system-2.6.18-4-xen-686 (xen 3.0.3) installed. I'd like to put this server in the cupboard and access it via wifi. To build the wifi kernel module, it should hopefully go like this : apt-get install madwifi-source madwifi-tools m-a a-i madwifi modprobe ath_pci ... Except that I do not have the sources nor the headers of my kernel. "apt-get source xen-linux-system-$(uname -r)" copied linux-2.6-2.6.21{,6.diff.gz,6.dsc,orig.tar.gz} in my home dir, but "m-a a-i madwifi -k linux-2.6-2.6.21...

RPMforge still has: rpmForge: madwifi-0.9.2.1-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm ATrpms has: madwifi-0.9.4-38_r2512.fc6.i386.rpm but requires their patched kernel.

...n be checkpointed and restored at minimal cost. * The running domU has complete control over an Atheros wifi card (ie, virtualization should be /as transparent as possible/ with respect to this device). Therefore, I set up pci passthrough for the Atheros device (worked), compiled some domU madwifi kernel modules (worked), loaded the modules (worked), and presto everything should be fine (not quite). Two problems: 1) Saving or pausing a VM that has madwifi drivers loaded crashes dom0 and domU irrecoverably without dropping a line to log or console. 2) Say I unload the modules, ch...

hi all, I am new to Xen. I tried to install it from binary, which worked well. I need to have my atheros card woking in domain 0, so I decided to install it from sources, to get Linux kernel patched by xen patches, wchich I could use to compile madwifi drivers. So I did. I donloaded sources for xen 3.0.3, run make world, it donloaded needed 2.6.16.29 vanilla kernel from kernel.org, patched it, compilation went well. I installed it, booted it, everything ok. But when I tried to compile madwifi-old sources, I realized that there is no linux-2.6....

Interesting situation: First my system - HP NC4010, with Atheros pci mini card. Latest MadWiFi drivers from: http://atrpms.net/dist/el4/madwifi/ and wpa from: http://atrpms.net/dist/el4/wpa_supplicant/ I had just the madwifi working back in Jul at the IETF conference. But as open only. I had upgraded to the plus kernel, thinking it would get my internal SD card reader working (it...

...on my Centos 5 that I use as a access point using hostapd. I noticed that after the upgrade to kernel 2.6.18-128 or above, the atheros driver comes with the kernel, ath5k, and it does?t let hostpad ou iwconfig set master mode on the card. Up to kernel 2.6.18-92 is workedd just fine using madwifi from rpmforge. Any ideas on that? Tks. __________________________________________________

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

...;m trying to get wireless working under CentOS4 and I''m having trouble. First, I can''t seem to find any rpms to just install (this would be really nice). And, second, when I try to build it from the src.rpm that I pulled from the atrpms repository with "rpmbuild --recompile madwifi-0.9.4.12-15.rhfc3.at.src.rpm", it dies on line 1. Which source rpm should I be using? Where can I find it?
