Debian + Dlink DWL-G650 (madwifi will not compile)


Discovered you do not need madwifi anymore as ath5k atheros chipset drivers are built into the latest kernel. When configuring your kernel...

you must first enable mac80211:

Networking --->
Wireless --->
<Y> Improved wireless configuration API
<Y> Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211)

Please note that there is another 802.11 networking stack:

<M> Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack

You do not need this.
