OK Calin
Thanks
I did have also the other lines in my modprobe.conf file
alias ath0 ath_pci
options ath_pci autocreate=sta
alias wifi0 ath_pci
It sounds like maybe I need to remove the last two?
I had already tried the latest stable version which did compile and install
without error - but I could not get it to work correctly and associate.
I will try again in the next day or so and post error messages from the console
and the /var/log/messages. Also I tried NetworkManager but that did not seem to
work either.
If anyone has got a specific version of madwifi to function properly with fc6
with the kernel 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 then details on the steps to make it work once
the driver is installed would be appreciated - as I am not sure if the
information on the madwifi site is right up to date or not?
Thanks
Mike
