Hi,
I have a Wifi card an Atheros WG311 = AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 1)
I downloaded the latest madwifi-ng-current.tar.gz file and installed it using make and make install, rebooted pc then modprobe ath_pci. All logged in on my user account and "su - root" in the terminal to run the "make"
The OS is Fedora 8 and it's a fresh installation and installing Atheros is its first installtion on the system.
make and make install went well without any errors.
I then went to System/Administration/Network and logged in as root into the "Network Configuration" window.
I set the card up with my essid, DNS and gateway.
I hit "activate" button, a window poped up with "Determining IP information for wlan0....."
After a minute or so I got "failed" "Cannot activate network device wlan0"
lsmod shows ath_pci
iwconfig wlan0 shows that the card is associated with my wireless router
This all worked fine on openSUSE 10.3 but not here on FC8 :-(
Can someone please shed some light on my problem please.
Cheers,
BlownCPU
