hey guys, I am trying to configure an atheros AR5007EG wifi card on fc8 with kernel version 2.6.25.11-60.fc8 i install it using yum install madwifi* it got install properly without any errors... but when i do ifconfig -a it doesnt show me any wifi interface i did modprobe ath_pci its shows me modules installed ... so i went through madwifi how-to ...there they have mention steps in to create interface but those steps dont work here is what i get:-
# wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta wlanconfig: ioctl: No such device
#wlanconfig ath0 destroy wlanconfig: ioctl: No such device
what those these means??? does anybody has configured this chipset on fc8

Hi , I did it for one of my friends with the same wifi card on Ubuntu. The released version of madwifi doesnt work with it. You need some svn snapshot. Have a look at the thread on ubuntu forums here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=800686
Follow the step about downloading and compiling/installing madwifi-ng. And uninstall your madwifi using yum before doing it. It should work.
