MadWifi Help

[GoodOmens]

I did the follwing:

Downloaded the latest madwifi snapshot (madwifi-ng-r1405), downloaded sharutils rpm.

Then did:

tar -xvf *.tar.gz
su
enterrootpassword
rpm -ivh sharutils-4.2.1-27.i386.rpm
cd madwifi
make
make install
modprobe ath_pci

However when I go to redhat - system toools - network I can't get the card to show up under "wireless".

It instead shows up under ethernet. In the network configuration gui under the hardware tab it shows two ethernet devices. One is my motherboard ethernet controller and the other one is the Atheros Communications. Both are listed as type ethernet. Any way I can change this? This is a fresh install from the fedora core dvd and I am using kernel 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp

try using the livna madwifi driver, it works great. but you'll probably have to upgrade your kernel if u don't have livna create /etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo and add this to it [livna]
name=Fedora Core 4 - i386 - livna
baseurl=http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/RPMS.lvn
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY then update your kernel with yum update kernel and reboot then type yum install kernel-module-madwifi-$(uname -r)

Excuse me for being a newb ... but:

[root@localhost ~]# yum update kernel
Setting up Update Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Could not find update match for kernel
No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion
