I am running a D-Link G-650 that was o.k on FC6.
I made afresh installation, I installed madwifi from freshrpms, then I rebooted.
Now if I open the Network administration page I do not see the
wifi-card (no ath0, no wifi0), but
the output of lspi is:
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212
802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
the output of lsmod is:
Module Size Used by
wlan_tkip 15872 0
wlan_ccmp 11776 0
wlan_scan_sta 16512 1
ath_pci 92832 0
ath_rate_sample 15744 1
wlan 186052 6
wlan_tkip,wlan_ccmp,wlan_scan_sta,ath_rate_sample,ath_pci
ath_hal 195408 3 ath_rate_sample,ath_pci
so all necessary modules are loaded...
If I issue an ipconfig I get:
ifconfig

configuration window????
