madwifi build with 2.6.29

tekknokrat · #1 31st March 2009, 02:44 PM

I have problems building the akmod-madwifi package via akmods and kernel-2.6.29-10.fc10.x86_64 (from koji)

The build log is attached here: http://fpaste.org/paste/7448

Reason for use of madwifi is that ath5k in 2.6.29 does not associate with my ap.
Any suggestions?

after a chat with j-rod in #rpmfusion he suggests to keep with the ath5k drivers and try to solve issues with them because akmod-madwifi is currently unmaintained.

You could try my driver as it works with F11 ( dkms is similar to akmod ).

Code:

su
yum install wget
wget http://leigh123.homelinux.com/dkms-madwifi-trunk-r3952-20090216.02.x86_64.rpm
yum --nogpgcheck install dkms-madwifi-trunk-r3952-20090216.02.x86_64.rpm
