First, make sure you download the current MadWiFi package: http://madwifi.otaku42.de/2004/11/ is what I downloaded. Then, the standard "make" and "make install". These built the package and modules, and then installed those modules. One thing I did need: a valid file for /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifcfg-ath0 For the most part, I think I copied the entries in the ifcfg-eth0 script; as I said, the machine isn't here right now so I can't say for sure. I may have restarted the machine (just to make sure - too many years running MS), but it came up with no problem. I just installed a new kernel on that machine this weekend; I needed to rebuilkt MadWiFi because of it, but because I already had the ath0 file it was a quick and easy process. -Don
