This has worked for me on my macbook 2,1 duo core, it is santa rosa
Try doing this, you'll get an internet connection, so grab the ethernet for a couple minutes. I've upload a revision of madwifi that I use constantly.
I've installed it multiple times on amd64 and the 32 bit hardy. give it a try, it should work.
I've uploaded the madwifi drivers here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/12499243...nt.tar.gz.html
Download that, and then untar it onto your desktop.
Code:
cd ~/Desktop
sudo modprobe -r ath_pci
sudo apt-get install build-essential
cd madwifi[tab]
sudo make
sudo make install
This is going to get the essential stuff to build madwifi, so you shouldn't get any errors.
If you don't get any errors from make and make install, then follow up and do this:
Code:
sudo modprobe ath_pci
Click on your gnome desktop network thing, and you should see ''wireless''
Give it a minute and it'll load up the networks visible.
Oh and if it cuts out, or something, just try reloading ath_pci, that seems to always fix problems for me.
