you may have missed a post of mine.
I have a D-link G650 that is working with madwifi from your repository
FC5-0.9.0-20.
When I upgarded to FC5-0.9.0-23 I got some errors from kismet.
Can you check???
A further comment: if you have an Atheros chip on your card I suggest
to use ATrpm repository as procedure is straightforward, you have only
ath0 in your network....

Tnx
