Folks, I happily own an IBM Thinkpad T40p with an integrated mini-pci wifi card with an atheros chipset. The madwifi project is developing a driver for it, using a binary-only hal library. I could compile and install the driver, I could manually configure it using iwconfig an ifconfig and I could successfully ping. So it basically works. But: How can I integrate it into the Fedora network configuration scenario? After reboot kudzu detected new hardware, added an "alias eth1 ath_pci" entry to /etc/modules.conf and created a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 script which is mirrored in /etc/sysconfig/networking drivers/ and profiles/default somehow. If I start redhat-config-network there is an appropriate device eth1. But - it is not recognized as a wireless device so I can'nt configure it and if I activate it - there is an error message: device eth1 seems to be missing. I just don't have a clue how to start that beast. Please, could someone give some advice or a hint, where to find documentation?
