I don't know where to report this. BugZilla doesn't seem interested,
because it's not a Gnome project.
The module kernel-module-madwifi for 2.6.14-1.1644 recently (November
30, 2005) saw an upgrade. But the current build from livna.org fails to
load. This is version 0.0-0.lvn.11.20051130@686.
Furthermore, kernel-module-madwifi-2.6.14-1.1653 version
0.0-0.lvn.11.20051130@686 also fails to load.
The last known good version is:
kernel-module-madwifi-2.6.14-1.1644 version 0.0-0.lvn.7.20050917.
The problem:
During boot, Fedora tries to start networking. After several minutes,
the task "Determining IP information for ath0" fails. Thus I have no
wireless connection.
When I fall back to the version I call "last known good," everything works.
The machine involved is a Dell Inspiron 1200.
Until I get a build of kernel-module-madwifi-2.6.14-1.1653 that will
actually load, I can't use the new kernel on that Dell Inspiron 1200.
Fortunately, I have a Gateway Performance 1000XL which can use kernel
2.6.14-1.1653 without a hitch. One thing I love about the new kernel: it
processes "removable media" preferences again, something that two
successive kernels failed to do.
