Where do I get 'wlanconfig' for madwifi


Which package does wlanconfig belong too?

I'm using Fedora Core 4.


I've already downloaded

Madwifi and the appropriate kernel module for my kernel from Livna.org via yum.

I wanted to run these steps that were given to me:

6. Type wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
7. Type iwconfig ath0 essid ANY
8. Type ifconfig ath0 up
9. Type dhclient


but couldn't find wlanconfig... did a 'locate wlanconfig' and did a find / -name wlanconfig

I know its not in my comp.

already did 'modprobe ath_pci' and its loaded (lsmod)

Anyone know where i can find 'wlanconfig'?


Thanks,

Zubin

wlanconfig comes with the newer madwifi-ng drivers. As I understand it, it only works with them.

There's some info and a link at http://www.madwifi.net/

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I've found the -ng drivers to be a bit flaky. I think I'm going back to the older ones. Give em a try tho. Might work better for you.
