Hi,

I need a like more information here to help you with this. Did you follow the guide in this thread to install your drivers?

Jeff

Hi max69,

Madwifi is running stable on my x64 install of Ubuntu. It could be the newest drivers. I am using an older version of madwifi, svn 6393. Madwifi seems to regress to past problems at...

Hey no problem. Good thing that you have a vanilla install of Ubuntu running.

I see. Well then... what is the exact error you are getting?

I get that you know Linux now. Hey, you never know who knows what on these boards.

Did you download all of the dependencies and the linux-headers package on the Ubuntu packages site and install...

Hmmmm. I am not familiar with Ubuntu Studio. But I will help. I am sure we can figure this out.:) Linux is a predictable beast...but a beast at that. It sounds like you may be missing the kernel...

LOL :biggrin:

That is too funny! I needed a good laugh tonight.

Good luck in getting it to work. If you have any more questions please let me know.

Hi NullHead,

Did you get this installed? The package website is up now.

Jeff

The only other things you will need to install are the kernel headers, and build-essential. I would install subversion also so you can download newer svn builds of madwifi in the future. You can...

I didn't understand your last message. No there isn't a way to do this off the cd. The madwifi drivers included on the CD are old versions that do not support the newer Atheros chipsets, and the...

I haven't created one yet. You could make your own by copying the guide and pasting it into a text editor.

Jeff

So is it working now?

I'm glad to hear it is working for you. Some Atheros cards are a pain with Linux. Especially the 5418.

Can you answer the question below. I am wondering if you need to change your WICD wpa_supplicant config file. One of the other users on the forum had a similar issue and we changed the variable...

Hi CH1CO,

What router do you have?

Jeff

Hi Frunktz,

The Netgear WG511T is based on the 5212 Atheros chipset. It is a little different than the 5418. Let's see what I can do to help. :)I just happen to have a WG511T. It works when I...

No, this is not an unrealistic goal at all. You can do just about anything you want with linux. You may want to check out the Ultimate Edition of Ubuntu. It has almost everything built in. ...

Hi CH1CO,

This is normal when you update the kernel. Any drivers that you install from source will not be built into the new kernel. You should just have to run the removal script, recompile the...

Hi CH1CO,

Yes there is a way to slipstream your custom Ubuntu drivers, progarms, and settings into a live CD with remastersys. I have not done this before so your milage may very. Here is a...

No there isn't a repository for this. This must be a DNS server issue of some sort. Here, let me use 7-zip to archive this and I will email.

The drivers are to large to send as an attachment. It looks like the svn is up now though. I think they have changed the svn. Try this to downlaod the newest drivers:


svn checkout...

Hi CH1CO,

The Madwifi site is down. Give me your email and I will send you 3693 svn of Madwifi.

Jeff

Good to hear you got this working. For everyone's benefit, what laptop do you have?

The Avahi issue can be fixed by uninstalling or disabling Avahi. I had to do this on my T60 to get wireless working. Here is an example of the bug if you want to read about it: ...

Hi cudaman73,

This sounds like a driver issue. What version of Madwifi are you using? This could also be an issue with Avahi. Madwifi and Avahi have issues on some systems. You can check if it...
