Crash during hardware detection of Atheros wireless card

[oshman]

Hey all,

I'm still (aarrrggg) trying to get wireless configured. I think I am 1 step further though. I downloaded the madwifi linux drivers for my Atheros AR5001X+ card with 5212 chipset. So far so good.
I tried configuring the card through System Tools -> Internet Configuration Wizard only to stall out because the card was not under the listed hardware.

So I teird to configure at boot up. During boot up, when the system is "checking for new hardware" - Kudzu (Redhat hardware detection tool) is activated and prompts set up of newly found hardware.

- It asks to configure new hardware - where I proceed

- It detects an "Atheros Communications" peice of hardware - I proceed further

- It asks for IP configuration -> either through DHCP or manual setup

- I try both and the result is

CRASH !!!!! at "enabling swap space"

Has anyone experienced this, and does anyone have any advice?

IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

System Tool -> Internet Config Wizard picked up the card, configured DHCP during boot up and BAM!!

I'm wireless baby

It aint fast, but I'm on. Yaaahhhoooooo!!

I'm so happy right now.

Guess I'll go get the 16k kernel patch and screw things up again.

Kudos
