How to bring-up WLAN interface of ThinkPad T43

[davidcle]

Hi,

My IBM ThinkPad T43 uses Atheros chipsset AR5004X. Can you please let me know what should I do to make it works. I'm new to FC4 so the more information the better. Your help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Do this
open terminal type in :

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/madwifi \co madwifi
su 
type in your root password

yum install sharutils

cd madwifi
make
make install
modprobe ath_pci

close terminal window


goto system settings --> network --> Enter root password --> click on new --> wireless --> choose "atheros..." enter your paticular settings --> when done hit save then activate.
