    I just installed madwifi, but now I'm stuck. I don't know what to do after this.

    I can see ath0, but I'm not sure what actions to do once this step has been completed.

    - You need to bring up the interface
    - Scan for networks
    - Connect to one, setting the SSID
    - Authenticate yourself against the network (if any)
    - Set an IP or use DHCP

    You said you can see ath0, this is not the case.

    Have you installed madwifi yet?
    Did you load the module?

    I can I can see ath0, however, that is the extent of it. I can also use iwlist scanning to see other wireless networks. I just can't get dhcpd ath0 to work.


    I believe I have loaded the module, the module being module ath_pci, correct? Also, whenever I run dhclien, it puts out the error that it can not find ath0. I however can see it as stated before.
