madwifi driver

darthczyz · 05-10-2004, 02:17 PM

hey guys,
i just loaded up the madwifi drivers for an orinoco a/b/g combo card, and i didn't get any errors during 'make' or 'make install'. when i type iwconfig, it picks up the card, but it can't seem to find any APs. they are being discovered by other equipment. when i put in the orinoco b card, it picks them up right away. is there something i need to do to activate the madwifi drivers? the lights on the card are flashing, but it doesn't seem to be transmitting or receiving. any help would be appreciated.

i would just like to say that i retract my question, and that i'm an idiot. i forgot to type 'ifconfig ath0 up'

if i had a nickel for every time linux made me feel stupid ...

anyway, problem solved, so no one waste any more time on this post
