Having been unable to get the madwifi driver to work with the current kernel
(2.6.20-1.2933.fc6) I decided to take a different tack altogether and got an
Edimax usb wireless dongle from a UK supplier. Although it took me a while to
get it going I finally managed to get a solid wireless connection with WEP
encryption using todays CVS rt74 driver. I have prepared a web page with the
details at http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~mdc1/edimax_wireless.html
Perhaps I will try to get madwifi working again in the future but at present at
least I have a working wireless now.
