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.
