Hi to all,
I am trying to install madwifi driver for my Atheros wifi PCI adapter card ( pci id 168c:011a) .
I tried it using tar of madwifi-0.9.2.1,tired 'make' and at 'make install' it is giving following log :-

sh scripts/find-madwifi-modules.sh 2.6.9-5.EL
for i in ./ath ath_rate/sample ./net80211; do \
make -C $i install || exit 1; \
done

Congratulations, you successfully installed madwifi. You can tell if it didn't make any errors because it didn't say ERROR at the end.

Now just type in a terminal as root to load the madwifi driver.
