The new madwifi driver (aka madwifi-ng) differs from other WLAN drivers. It basically works but needs further integration work. *** Bug 133769 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Fixed package submitted. Should work with Alpha4. does it need any other update besides wireless-tools? upgrading to wireless-tools from Nov 18 doesn't fix it for me.. still does not work for me. the problem is that iwconfig wifi0 claims that there are no wireless extensions and consequently I cannot configure essid, wep key or similiar. ok, things do work better with current stable. |
On my 10.1 Alpha1 system, I installed todays kotd (Kernel 2.6.14.1) and wlan does not work anymore: ifup ath0 ath0 device: Atheros Communications, Inc.
