In the meantime, I'm using madwifi, but I'd like to be able to use the module that's available without compiling the driver everytime for a new kernel.
Hi Psycovic
I feel that you have selected the robust driver for your wireless card. I have been using Madwifi from the period of Hardy. I went through all kernel updates as well as new release without any glitch to my wireless driver.
Please visit my thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309072 for the installation of drivers.
You mentioned that you would like to have a module which doesn't require any recompilation during kernel updates.
For that please note In my thread for step 4 Instead of typing the command
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
Type the command
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
This will take care of recompiling problems.
Thanks for my friend kokopelli who helped me to do this
All the best
Dr Kurian
