I have found out that there is a new madwifi-0.9.3.1 and will try it out and report back.  The new kernels might not be supported.

Antonio

What should we do?  I need wireless.  It is my only way of connecting to the net at the moment.  Currently running rawhide 

[root at localhost ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.21-1.3201.fc7 #1 SMP Thu May 24 19:23:45 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[root at localhost ~]# cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora release 7.89 (Rawhide)
[root at localhost ~]#  

Regards,

Antonio
