Are any of the repos updated for fedora 5 yet?

Well, let me ask another way I guess. I need to install madwifi for my wireless card. Does anyone know if this is supported on install with fedora5 or do I still need to get this from atrpms? If I do have to go get it, is atrpms available in Fedora 5 yet?

I did not see it listed here.

http://rpmforge.net/user/packages/rpmforge-release/

Where would I go to find it?

In FC5 test 2 or FC5 test 3 add a file named freshrpms.repo into your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory with the following content. (You could do a "gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/freshrpms.repo" as root.)[freshrpms]
name=FreshRPMS-Fresh
baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/development/$basearch/freshrpms
http://ayo.us5.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/development/$basearch/freshrpms
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1Be sure there is a blank line (carriage return) at the end of the file.

Do not use atrpms for these reasons (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JohnMahowald/ATrpmsWarning).

I did not see and enry for fc5.

I don't see madwifi on this list. Am I missing something?
