howto fix network manager w/atheros cards

[anibis]

This is for FC5:

First, enable network manager:

1. Set the main service to automatically start on boot: su -c '/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 NetworkManager on'

2. Dispatcher service start on boot: su -c '/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 NetworkManagerDispatcher on'

3. Start the services: su -c '/sbin/service NetworkManager start ; /sbin/service NetworkManagerDispatcher start'

Then:

Goto http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/GettingMadwifi under "Downloading via Subversion".

if you have other madwifi drivers, uninstall:
cd into madwifi dir
cd scripts
type "./madwifi-unload-bash"
cd ..
"make uninstall"

compile new drivers using make, make install
I didn't have to change anything but some of you may, there are manuals at the madwifi website

everything should be gravy after that, I was told in this forum previously that the bug hadn't been fixed yet.
