I have FC5 on a vanilla Athlon 64 CPU. I also have a Netgear WPN311 NIC.
My question is- How do I get this NIC to talk to my LAN which is
hosted with a Netgear DG834PN ADSL/Router. I have tried to install
the madwifi rpms from atrpms, but the wireless card does not seem to
be seen.
... output from uname -a is:
Linux x.x.x 2.6.16-1.2111_FC5 #1 SMP Thu May 4 21:16:04 EDT 2006 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
ATrpms' packages are currently for 2122, so you'll need to update your
kernel first and then
yum install madwifi madwifi-kmdl-`uname -r`
follow the documentation on madwifi.org to setup the card thereafter.
BTW if you are not sure whether the model you are using is supported
by madwifi (the same model can have different chipsets in it depdening
on "model version") check the output of lspci. If it has Atheros in it
somewhere then madwifi is correct. Otherwise you need some other
driver.

Thanks for that info. That works fine now.
