could use some help with slackware 10.1 and atheros wifi card
This is a discussion about could use some help with slackware 10.1 and atheros wifi card in the Linux Networking category; Good business move. . . (Bad political/p. r. move as well as help to preventing virus/worm/spyware/malware infection move on the part of Microsoft & King Billy + his crew there. ) :( * That'd be my opinion on the subject.
well ive installed slackware like a million times activated the pcmcia option so etho is up but the problem is when im trying to install the madwifi driver i get of cvs. well actually it installs fine from what i can tell because if i use iwconfig ath0 is now visible however i cant connect to any wireless ap. another problem is that when i type ifconfig ath0 up it freezes my computer...this also happens if i try to open dhcp client. ive read some stuff about it being caused by slackware's hotplug feature however i dont have any idea how to fix it. any help would be grateful.
thanks

What exact wireless card do you have? Do you know the exact chipset for the card? AR5210, 5211, 5212 or 5213?
I tried madwifi and had no success with it.
...and the kernel source is installed on your installation of Slackware?
Do you have WEP or WPA set on the router?

Do you get any error messages while installing the madwifi drivers?
