Obtaining an RPM for the proper old atheros madwifi driver, not ath5k

2009-12-04 Thread James Allsopp
Hi, I'm running Fedora 12, and was wondering if anyone knew of a repository which contains one of hte old atheros drivers. I want to get rid of ath5k as it doesn't seem to have a good reputation, sounds very experimental still, and I can't make an access point with it without a hostapd0.6 rpm. Can

No, what's there is the ath5k drivers labelled as madwifi, not the original useful drivers. 2009/12/4 Rodney Morris > On Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 11:17 AM, James Allsopp > wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm running Fedora 12, and was wondering if anyone knew of a repository > > which contains one of hte old at

Got it working using madwifi and hostapd 0.5.8, To get madwifi to come up as ap using modprobe autocreate=ap This seems to be the only way to get a five series atheros card working as an ap, as new versions of hostapd only supports madwifi and ath9k. Thanks for the help, Jim 2009/12/4 James Alls
