Hi,
I have a Aries 3054 miniPCI b/g (from netgate.com). I have put it in a
Soekris Net 4521 running pebble linux v37, which has the madwifi driver
built-in.
So far I made it to here :
pebble:~# iwconfig ath0 mode master essid "jodebaer" channel 10
pebble:~# iwpriv ath0 mode 2 // to force it to 11b
pebble:~# iwconfig ath0
ath0 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"jodebaer"

pebble:~# ifconfig ath0
ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:6F:20:4B:88

... the Soekris has to serve as an access point for 2 WPC11-carded laptops.
Now if I configure the WPC11 on a 'client' like below, shouldn't it see
the AP? Can anyone confirm that my atheros is correctly configured?
Because the laptops see nothing.
laptop:~# iwconfig eth1
eth1 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"jodebaer" Nickname:"localhost.localdomain"

Thanks for any pointers ;-) ideally setting up a quick ad-hoc would be an
easy way to test connectivity, but I guess this is not yet possible with
madwifi?
