wireless madwifi install problems

[eier]

hi.

I'm trying to install madwifi 0.9.3.1 on my slackware 12
First i cd the madwifi directory,then i do a "make",then i do a "make install"
but when i do "modprobe ath_pci" it gives me "ath_pci mod not found"or something similar. I tried several time's but it give's me the same.

can you help me?

i believe that you need to use "sudo" in the "make install" and "sbin/modprobe ath-pci". this is for a Atheros wireless card{are you sure its an atheros card} found this here -

1. extract the driver
$tar -jxf madwifi-0.9.3.1.tar.bz2
2. enter the directory of the driver
$cd madwifi-0.9.3.1
3. make the kernel modules
$make
4. install the kernel modules
$sudo make install
5. insert the kernel module
$sudo /sbin/modprobe ath-pci
6. configure your wireless with kwifimanager :D

You can compile it or save yourself some time by using the slackware package.
