The Testing Area :: madwifi.dsl

the madwifi_setup.sh script. I dl the madwifi.dsl, added via myDSL and got the same error i saw working with this a few weeks ago. Specifically, it's compiled with older modules or something.

I got this ATH0 proxim card to work from my Cisco AP at work, encryption and all, but at home with a Dell TrueMobile 2300, I can't get it to work no matter what. My Mac Mini is wireless and it's working just fine.

I've tried no WEP and with 40bit WEP.

I do ifconfig ath0 up
then iwlist ath0 scan and i can see my wireless network, just can't get an address! bummer!!

The madwifi.dsl works ONLY for dsl v2.0 and v2.1
I have updated the .info to indicate that

All other versions of DSL have builiin support for madwifi.

However newer cards do not work with the built in madwifi.

The good news is that we now have a madwifi-ng-2.4.26.dsl which was contributed by user JB4X4. This is an update for all versions of DSL based on the 2.4.26 kernel, i.e., the latest version of DSL v2.3 at the time of this posting.

I took the lappy back to work today. Connected right back up with my Cisco 1231 AP. I just don't get it. This @$@##@ Dell TruMobile 2300 just won't work with it.

Time to get another wireless AP for the home I suppose.
