Bob,
I blacklisted ath5k and reinstalled madwifi but no luck. Is this problem
rectified in Fedora 9?
Well, you missunderstood. You aren't supposed to
blacklist ath5k as i
already done that for your with the livna madwifi package.
please give the output of dmesg |grep ath.
Give a try also on NetworkManager service to be enabled.
Does your system has been completely updated ?
Fedora 9, will never have the madwifi driver has it use a proprietary
daemon. Instead it has ath5k which is a younger driver but completely
free software.
is working primarily on improving ath5k.
So the solution for now, is to use the livna-testing version of
kmod-madwifi. (that is likely the only one to support your newer
chipset)
What's append then ?
