I have an Atheros AR5006EG card on a Toshiba Satellite P105-S6147 laptop computer. That's an i386 architecture but is Pentium Dual Core.

ifconfig doesn't show either a wlan0 or an ath0 present. I guess I need to add the ATRPMS repo and then install the madwifi driver to get support?

Thanks

That, or download from madwifi.org. There's a src.rpm someplace, you need to rebuild for each new kernel. Doesn't take long.



Freshrpms has a package for the madwifi driver. http://moonshine.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=453 .

Install the freshrpms-release package that is listed on the left side of the page, and then install it from yum.

I can see the ath5k module is loaded. I could just set up an ifcfg-ath0 module and then `ifup ifcfg-ath0` and Network Manager should be able to do the rest of my work for me...does this make any sense?

Thanks

Bob
