MADWIFI on FC1

[Bill Johnson]

Thanks for the reply!  I recompiled, ensuring the CC=gcc32 was set.  Same 
result.  Here is some additional information that occurs when I try to 
modprobe wlan, ath_hal and ath_pci after doing the above compile.  Any 

[root at laptop madwifi]# /sbin/cardctl status
Socket 0:
  3.3V CardBus card
  function 0: [ready]
[root at laptop madwifi]# /sbin/cardctl ident

  function: 6 (network)
[root at laptop madwifi]# /sbin/cardctl config
Socket 0:

  interface type is "cardbus"
  irq 10 [exclusive] [level]
  function 0:
[root at laptop madwifi]# /sbin/modprobe wlan
[root at laptop madwifi]# /sbin/modprobe ath_hal

Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, 
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/net/ath_pci.o: insmod ath_pci failed
[root at laptop madwifi]#


Here is the latest from dmesg as a result of the above:
PCI: Enabling device 03:00.0 (0000 -> 0002)
ath_hal: 0.9.8.6
wlan: 0.7.3.1 BETA
ath_pci: 0.8.5.4 BETA
ath_pci: cache line size not set; forcing 32
ath%d: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 3
ath_pci: No devices found, driver not installed.
wlan: driver unloaded
ath_hal: driver unloaded
wlan: 0.7.3.1 BETA
ath_hal: 0.9.8.6
ath_pci: 0.8.5.4 BETA
ath%d: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 3
ath_pci: No devices found, driver not installed.
[root at laptop madwifi]#

The "ignoring irq=10" error is due to my having added a line in the 
modules.conf to try and force it to use irq 10, based on the hint shown. 
That didn't work, and I need to remove it from the modules.conf file.

Any other thoughts on what I'm missing?
