I rebuilt my notebook that has the atheros card in it, and forgot to save all of my setup to get it working.

I am using dkms and the madwifi rpms from rpmforge.

My modprobe.conf has a line:

alias wifi0 ath_pci

I can ifconfig wifi0 up

But the command:

/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant -dd -D madwifi -i wifi0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
I think I need a:

ifconfig ath0 up

And the wpa_supplicant line should be:

/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant -B -dd -K -D madwifi -i ath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

But this is still not working. I think there is something I need to do with wlanconfig?


I used the directions on this page a couple of days ago:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless

Once I did, I had the wireless working on atheros with wpa2 personal.
NetworkDirector just does not seem to work for me, or at least on the networks I am on. It might have to do in this case that there are over a dozen APs scanable with the SSID of IEEE.

I have just NOT had success with NetworkDirector. I have read posts here that others have had similar problems. And over on the Gnome Network Manager list, there are lots of problems noted with the version we have for Centos, so we have to live with our short-comings.

I made some progress but still do not have it all back together again.
