as reliably the madwifi "ath_pci" driver.<br>
<br>
If you're using madwifi, you need to add:<br>
blacklist ath5k<br>
to the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and reboot.<br>
<br>
I've been using the svn trunk pretty successfully against the new kernels:<br>
svn checkout <a href="http://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/trunk" target="_blank">http://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/trunk</a> madwifi<br>
cd madwifi<br>
make install<br>
<br>
If you install a new kernel, make sure you do a "make clean" before<br>
another "make install", to rebuild and install against the new kernel.<br>
By default it builds against the current kernel. To build against a<br>
different version:<br>
k=2.6.24.4-64.fc8<br>
env KERNELRELEASE=$k KERNELPATH=/lib/modules/$k/build make install<br>

I tried MadWiFi also this morning. I followed the steps mentioned here <a href="http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo" target="_blank">http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo</a><br>
<br>
When I did *modprobe ath_pci *I got error that ath_pci is unknown interface.<br>

Fedora 9.<br>

Fedora has the ath5k builtin kernel (you may need a newer kernel)<br>
if your chipset isn't supported by ath5k yet, you can give a try on<br>
the madwifi project.<br>
Third part fedora repositories are packaging prebuild kmod for madwifi<br>
so you won't have to compile it yourself for Fedora 8<br>
<br>
Now you shoudn't need to use ndiswrapper with any atheros chipsets<br>
(unless newer models using ar5007 on 64bit and some older atheros<br>
usb).<br>
