Hello all,
I posted a few months ago regarding trying to get madwifi working on my
router. It turns out the card I was using is too new and unsupported
(MIMO). I decided to go ahead and purchase a different card. I bought the
D Link DWLG520. According to the Madwifi site this card is supported. My
end goal is to use the card as an AP. It seems that my card is loading up
ok and the drivers are working but I cannot connect to it. Here is some of
the needed info-

So where do I start to bring the interface up? I looked at the Madwifi site
and it suggests-
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
but it seems wlanconfig isn't a supported command for Bering, or am I wrong?
Maybe there are some other packages or modules I need to load... Thanks
for your help!
