CentOS and Atheros
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.

Now running vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL -- MadWifi dead
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.

madwifi on Centos 5.2, kernel 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5
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 just seems to work in Centos 5
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!

PCMCIA not working on IBM Thinkpad r40
I am running Centos 4 on a Thinkpad r40 and it does not see any pcmcia
cards. I know the socket is good because I had it working with Fedora
Core 3. A funny thing though, once I updated my fedora kernel to a
certain rev. (don't remember the version) the card socket no longer
worked. Going back to an un-upgraded install of Fedora 3 worked.
Has anyone seen this problem and worked this

ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY & IBM Thinkpad R40
Does anyone have any experience with the combination of a Thinkpad R40
and the ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY video chip? I''ve had CentOS 4.1, 4.2,
and now 4.3 running just great with 1024x768 resolution, but according
the IBM specs, this chip is capable of 1280x1024.
A quick lspci -v | grep ATI spewed the following:

Wifi wpa_supplicant with atheros successes or failures?
I remember being a small part of and following this thread a few months
ago.
<http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2006-May/065091.html>
I've been attempting a go at getting wpa_supplicant running on CentOS
4.3 and haven't had much luck. I'm assuming my failure is my lack of
knowledge on the subject, but anyways.
First, my normal setup is as follows:

How should I create a repo on Centos 2.1?
I tracked down a createrepo rpm "for RHL 7.x, AS 2.1" etc (hosted by
Dag), but it's uninstallable.
Eventually I managed to create an rpm from the source (actually, that's
fairly easy when onw knows to say "python2"), but python-urlgrabber has
completely defeated me.
According to Dag, the problem is that "upstream" doesn't see the need to

wireless card for CentOS
Hi,
I'll need to buy a new wireless card. I need a recommendation for
PCMCIA wireless card that simply works with CentOS out of the box.
By "works out of the box", I mean that it doesn't need ndis wrapper
(or whatever it is called), kernel hacks, or whatever.
Thanks

wifi cluelessness
The nice folks at work have just provided me with a new, really spiffy,
ThinkPad. So, I''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

New lists
Think of this as a motion as one might move at a meeting. Discussion and
refinement are in order.
I don't understand the current rationale for a single CentOS users'
list; probably in times past it was sensible, but I think the time has
come for splitting the list by release.
I'm speaking from my own perspective, but I'm sure others have similar
stories. How many users use

Centos 4.92
I'm looking at the first ISO image (I only have two so far), and I don't
see instructions a repo for preparing for a network install.
It used to be basically copy all the RedHat/Fedora/CentOS directories to
a common location.
Then one booted from the network, CD or whatever and gor right into it.
The last part I'm sure is substantially the same as before, but we do
need a new

CentOS 4 and laptop and wifi works
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?

Lost my madwifi setup
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

fails.

What ever happened to the dkms atheros drivers/
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?

Create ThinkPad R61i laptop page
Hi,
I just purchased a new ThinkPad R61i since my R40 died. I previously ran
CentOS 4 on my old one, but have loaded CentOS 5 on the new one. I'd
like to add whatever I can regarding my hardware.
I followed the directions for adding a laptop page, but I was never
promoted to enter any information after choosing the laptop template. I
did login with my username first as well.

Madwifi drivers afeter 2.6.18-128.
I have a atheros wiifi card 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.
