You need to read the doc on udev, http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/udev/. When you install modules, they will put there devices files in /dev, but with FC3 /dev will be removed when you reboot because FC3 uses udev. Udev will recreate /dev files from the /etc/udev/devices location, so you need to copy the /dev files it creates from /dev to /etc/udev/devices. Please check out the above link for all the details, etc.I just installed the current version of madwifi (compiled with a lot of warnings, but worked)
It worked fine until I rebootet the machine. Kudzu came up, had detected a new device to configure. OK, I let it do its job. But afterward I had no joy with ath0. First I had to correct a wrong entry eth1 in /etc/modprobe.conf (as usual). Then, on system start, ath0 is loaded, the LED is on, but as soon as the interface is configured the LED goes off and I can't get ath0 to work anymore.
OK, I made a fresh install of FC3, installed madwifi, everything works until a reboot and kudzu .... same scenario again.
