or it can't work.

   Does anyone know the proper yum call to get a madwifi kernel?

Karl

As Erich points out, you can download the RPM from Livna.

I build from source. It's pretty easy:

svn checkout http://svn.madwifi.org/trunk madwifi
cd madwifi
make
make install

The first time you install, use "modprobe ath_pci" before rebooting.

Well the make install must be quite a program. I'm old and I recall you must compile both the things in the kernel and all the modules. I really don't see how that can part of the make install.

And the yum of a kernel FAILED because I already have a later kernel. It might have madwifi but I can't find it.

This whole thing is just a pain!

Karl

The program kmod-madwifi is the /kernel module/ for madwifi. The key: you must install a kernel module built specially for the kernel you want to run it with.

Question for everyone: does the new kernel have any of its own WiFi code, and if so, does that code substitute for MADWifi for use with Atheros-based wireless NICs?
