Sorry about I'm posted this question in "http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1105964#post1105964"
I'm trying to run Fedora 9 in the laptop Compaq Presario C700.
The Wireless adapter is Atheros 5006X (I got it from the Windows XP).
Information about the kernel and madwifi as below:
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep kernel-2.6.26
kernel-2.6.26.6-79.fc9.i686
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep madwifi
kmod-madwifi-0.9.4-50.r3771.lvn9.1.i686
kmod-madwifi-2.6.26.6-79.fc9.i686-0.9.4-50.r3771.lvn9.1.i686
madwifi-0.9.4-10.r3771.lvn9.i386
In /etc/modprobe.d/", I found files "madwifi" and "modprobe.conf.dist" but there is no modprobe.conf.
Q1)Can you help to explain?
Some detailed information
[root@localhost ~]# lsmod | grep ath_pci
ath_pci 210104 0
wlan 190900 1 ath_pci
ath_hal 249440 1 ath_pci
[root@localhost ~]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
pan0 no wireless extensions.
gre0 no wireless extensions.
I have try to use system-network-config but I could not found the adapter that start with name "Atheros".
Can you help me to setup the wireless?
