RE: getting a wireless netgear WG511T card to work on FC

Thanks Axel!

I noticed in your reply, the Rpms appear to be for FC5, I'm assuming that I
would use FC4 Rpms, or would I still download the FC5 Rpms for the madwifi
apps?

Also, when I try to look at my FC4 on my dell laptop, I only see the eth
interface for the wired/eth connection. Where/How would I see the network
interface/card when it's plugged in? I know.. really basic
questions/knowledge here...

Also, even though I've looked at the madwifi site (and others) I'm not sure
as to the process for the RPMs when I get them. Will I have to rebuild the
linux kernel? Will I have to have the Linux development/source files? (I
don't have these on the system.) Will I have to build/compile the madwifi
RPMs?

Thanks

-Bruce

The easiest is to let smart/yum/apt do their job with something like

yum install madwifi madwifi-`uname -r`

(you need to activate atrpms in your depsolver setup).

If you need to download by hand then probably you will need (for i686,
non-smp, non-xen0):

http://dl.atrpms.net/all/madwifi-0.9.0-23.rhfc5.at.i386.rpm
http://dl.atrpms.net/all/madwifi-kmdl-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5-0.9.0-23.rhfc5.at.i6
86.rpm
http://dl.atrpms.net/all/madwifi-hal-kmdl-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5-0.9.0-23.rhfc5.a
t.i686.rpm
