Bob, I blacklisted ath5k and reinstalled madwifi but no luck. Is this problem rectified in Fedora 9? -Ravi <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 22, 2008 at 8:40 PM, Bob Arendt <<a href="mailto:rda@rincon.com">rda@rincon.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I've been able to use the ath5k driver, though it doesn't seem to work as reliably the madwifi "ath_pci" driver. If you're using madwifi, you need to add: blacklist ath5k to the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and reboot. I've been using the svn trunk pretty successfully against the new kernels: svn checkout <a href="http://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/trunk" target="_blank">http://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/trunk</a> madwifi cd madwifi make install If you install a new kernel, make sure you do a "make clean" before another "make install", to rebuild and install against the new kernel. By default it builds against the current kernel. To build against a different version: k=2.6.24.4-64.fc8 env KERNELRELEASE=$k KERNELPATH=/lib/modules/$k/build make install <a href="mailto:ravisagar@gmail.com" target="_blank">ravisagar@gmail.com</a> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="Ih2E3d"> I tried MadWiFi also this morning.

Fedora has the ath5k builtin kernel (you may need a newer kernel) if your chipset isn't supported by ath5k yet, you can give a try on the madwifi project. Third part fedora repositories are packaging prebuild kmod for madwifi so you won't have to compile it yourself for Fedora 8 Now you shoudn't need to use ndiswrapper with any atheros chipsets (unless newer models using ar5007 on 64bit and some older atheros usb).
