Scott has many other useful articles like this on his web page.  I
find them each time he gives the URL to help people in the forums.

I tend to forget how the recursive ACLs work (not as expected, mostly).

I was able to create a new empty page, but not able to create a page
under Laptops/Wireless.  (I tried adding AR5007EG to
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/  which took me to the
expected empty page but got the message that I wasn't allowed to 
edit the page.) 

Shall I just put it under howtos on its own page?

Seeing the quality of the stuff you already added to the wiki, I just
gave you access to everything under HowTos - so you should be able to
add that page yourself.

[CentOS-docs] article for consideration, Atheros 5007EG wireless card

2008-07-04 Thread Scott Robbins
I have a page where I document getting the increasingly popular AR5007EG
Atheros wireless card working.  (This is the card used in the Asus EEE
PC).

The current article covers several
distributions, but would be modified to just cover CentOS. 

It does, however, involve getting third party software, as the rpmforge
repos don't have the necessary drivers.  (Apparently, it's a bit of a
special case, and hasn't yet been merged into MadWifi trunk.

(Additionally, though not relevant to this article, some of the later
Ubuntu and Fedora alpha version kernels are requiring special patches). 

Therefore, it's been suggested on the forums that it might be a helpful
addition to Dag Wier's article on Atheros cards.  I would like to give
it its own page, however, as part of the reason that the article has
been helpful to many people (judging by forum posts and personal emails)
is the fact that it goes into great detail, and as such, doesn't really
fit with the current Wiki laptop article. Perhaps, if it's accepted,
after it was finished, a link could be put to it from the wireless
section of the laptop article. 

My thought is that it could go somewhere under 
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless

My wiki username is ScottRobbins

The original, as yet unmodified article is at 
http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/rhwireless.html#5007

As I can't resist repeating this, and it should give Akemi-san, Alan,
and Ned a snicker, an unsolicited testimonial on the CentOS forums
said,

" This was the best, most comprehensive webpage I have seen thus far on
the subject. I am now comfortably sitting in bed working on this, which
is better than being tethered to the wall!!!"

(If I were making reviews for an advertisement, I would have just ended
the quote at, "most comprehensive webpage I have seen..." ):)

Thank you for your consideration
