Has anyone gotten the MadWifi drivers working in FC6t2?
I have yet to get them to build. Not certain what I am doing wrong as I have built them many times before with no trouble. I noticed that the AT repository did not have it built either.
Known problem or am I missing something. (Could be I am missing the sharutils, but that should give me a different error.)
I have tried both the current "stable" tarball and current svn.
Thanks!

The MadWifi (ng) drivers work like a charm with FC6T2. I am using current svn. You have to comment out some lines in /usr/src/kernels/<kernelver-name>/include/linux/config.h to make it compile though.

The other alternative is to patch madwifi to use autoconf.h. config.h has been deprecated for a while and was finally made an error in 2.6.18. I submitted a bug and patch to madwifi, http://madwifi.org/ticket/845.
I have also been building kmod RPMS for the patched madwifi drivers based on the livna RPMS. I described it at http://znark.com/blog/articles/2006/08/26/macbook-wireless-on-linux

That's the proper way to go, mine is just a hack to get things to compile. I hope your autoconf patch will be accepted soon!

actually no. the include of config.h should be deleted, not replaced.
