hi ,
if u did make; make install successfully with madwifi....
go to the network config tool... try to create new Wireless connection ..it will automatically detect ur mad_wifi card if it is available (i am using Proxim gold card with RHEL4) ...

I hate to say it, but I'm out of ideas here. The only thing I can suggest is a rummage through your logs (/var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages) and see if modprobe is leaving something more informative than module not found. Or run it with the -v flag (modprobe -v ath_pci) and see if it spits out more details about where it is looking for the module.

I still think that the lack of a "driver present" statement from ndiswrapper -l suggests it isn't happy with the driver your feeding it, but you are certainly free to disagree. I also seriously doubt that there is a bug in the kernel unless you compiled your own kernel and left something out. However, none of the errors you've posted suggest that the kernel is the issue.

Here is a link that can be useful :

I run Mandrake 10.0. I followed these instructions when I installed a WiFi card on my computer and everything worked fine.

did you read the readme in the dir? isnt ath_pci the last module your supposed to load? and you could also just insmod the modules. i think you need to do insmod ath_hal/ath_hal.ko insmod wlan/wlan.ko insmod driver/ath_pci.ko or something like that. thats what i did to get madwifi on my system...

I am having a problem w/ a working card when i upgrade my system using apt. The thread is here : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...94#post1574094 if any of you can help me i would appreciate.
