Re: Atheros AR5006X Wireless Network Adapter

[ravisagar@xxxxxxxxx]

I tried MadWiFi also this morning. I followed the steps mentioned here http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo

When I did modprobe ath_pci I got error that ath_pci is unknown interface.

:(

Fedora has the ath5k builtin kernel (you may need a newer kernel)
if your chipset isn't supported by ath5k yet, you can give a try on
the madwifi project.
Third part fedora repositories are packaging prebuild kmod for madwifi
so you won't have to compile it yourself for Fedora 8

Now you shoudn't need to use ndiswrapper with any atheros chipsets
(unless newer models using ar5007 on 64bit and some older atheros
usb).
