From the madwifi.net page and a couple of other sources, it looks like after you do the above then you have to run some utility called wlanconfig.

From here the statement was made:
Quote
wlanconfig must then be run to create the network device (I used ath<n> ) against which a network interface can be configured.


and an example on madwifi.net shows:
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta

The wlanconfig command apparently makes an ath0 wireless interface from the wifi0 device.

This utility is supposed to be in the madwifi-ng/tools directory.  Any chance of getting that posted in the madwifi.tar.gz file??

hi,

i've done a frugal grub install of dsl 2.0 on a harddrive (once i've got it configured the way i want, i'll boot it from compact flash). i can insmod the madwifi modules and i get a ath0 interface using wlanconfig. i get a connection to my router, but something is missing: i'm not able to surf to webpages. but i can already ping other computers on the network.

i'm using dhcp in my network and i don't know how to set up damnsmalllinux to act as a dhcp client (it freezes when i click the button in dslpanel).

well, and when i've got that going, how do i make those changes permanent? and how do i add wpa encryption?

thanks,
torben

Did you try "pump -i ath0" after you get ath0 up??

Max,
Is this all working for you? I have yet to get it going. Can you please outline the steps you used to make these modules work? Did you use the code as stated on the hack page? Thanks!

<edit> Actually, I got the interface, so I must be nearly there. I'm going to go through the madwifi Wiki step-by-step and see If I can figure out where I'm going wrong.
