Hi Robert,

I'm using madwifi.dsl succesfully with my Airlink AWLH 4030 pci NIC, but I could not get it t function properly using the madwifi_setup.sh script.  I can't access the exact errors I got at the moment to post here, but if I recall correctly there seemed to be a problem with the creation of the ath0 device.

Here is what I do instead, which is based on the info I found at http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo

Code Sample

modprobe ath_pci
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
iwconfig ath0 essid "tifnrog"
iwconfig ath0 key <yourkey>


I also am unable to get a dhcp lease using pump, so am manually setting the IP and route.

Code Sample

ifconfig ath0 192.168.1.102 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 192.168.1.1


Very glad to not have to go get the madfifi source from CVS and compile it though.

Any plans to get ad-hoc mode going with madwifi? Would love to be able to use my at&t 6700g on my home wireless net...

You would need to go talk to the madwifi developers for that.

The script works perfectly for me, but Robert used my card when he was writing it.
The line commands on the madwifi site are extremely useful. It's amazing what this little card can do in DSL that the software for Windows doesn't have the capability to access.
