Hello Linux Gurus I am new to linux. I installed fedora rc3. I am trying to configure Netgear wg311v2 card in my computer. Its working fine in windows xp. yesterday i installed madifi driver. No error. But i dont know where to start to configure. When i tried to use network setting but i didnt see netgear there. Can i choose any card? Please tell me how to configure netgear in fedora rc3. Greatly appreciated Is it manual setup or i can use network setting through fedora system setup. thanks in advance

Thanks drmagoo. Greatly appreciate your help. The wirless card start working but i can't use WEP with acx100 driver. I need WEP because I setup my router with WEP. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks to all help me to fix it.

Its working. Greatly appreciated all your help. Thanks Thanks

Thanks for all your help.. Here is my reply.. 1. try 'rpm -qa | grep madwi' to see if you already have the madwifi package installed. In some distros, the madwifi drivers are just rolled into the kernel package so for those you must check the kernel modules for 'ath_hal' and 'ath_pci'. -> "find /lib/modules -name \*ath\*" (you'll need the backslashes) Ans: ./net/ath_hal.ko ./net/ath_pci.ko 2. you need to check "/var/log/messages" or 'dmesg' for an indication the madwifi drivers appropriate for your wireless card are loading. -> "grep ath /var/log/messages" or "dmesg | grep ath" -> "grep wlan /var/log/messages" or "dmesg | grep wlan" Ans: ath_hal: XXXXX ath_hal:0.9.XXX ath_rate_once:1.0 ath_pci: XXX wlan: 0.8XXXX 3. if the drivers are loaded, then you should find an "ath0" interface listed with 'iwconfig'. if they aren't loaded, you may need to 'modprobe ath_pci' and go back to Step 2. Ans: no ath0 when i did iwconfig #modprobe ath_pci after this no result // No entry in modprobe.conf No ifcfg-ath0 in network-scripts rpm -qa | grep madwi ans : madwifi-0.0XXXXX madwifi_module-0.0XXXXXX Anything else i have to do. Greatly appreciate all your help. How do i check wireless card working? I have Network card also eth0. But the cable is not connected. Is that cause problem?

Hi Here is the response. #iwconfig lo no wireless extension eth0 no wireless extension sit0 no wireless extension no error when i used to build madwifi dirver rpmbuild --rebuild madwifi-0.0.20050125-1.src.rpm what i am doing wrong.

i dont see anything like that. Thanks. How can i check whether the driver installed successfuly. here is the command i used rpmbuild --rebuild madXXXXxxxxxx.rpm
