madwifi - a Linux kernel device driver for Wireless LAN chipsets from Atheros.
A wireless card compatibility matrix is available at:
http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility
By default the script will build the madwifi kernel module for the currently
running kernel. If you would like to build the madwifi driver for a different
kernel version, two things are required:
1) kernel source in /usr/src/linux-<version>
2) run the script as: KERNELVERSION=<version> sh madwifi-driver.SlackBuild
In place of <version> use only the version, not the full path. The <version>
string from 1) and 2) must be identical.
Example: KERNELVERSION=2.6.22.7
The kernel module will then be installed to /lib/modules/<version>/....
You may use this SlackBuild to build the madwifi module for as many *different*
kernels as you like and they can be installed alongside each other without
conflict.
Requirements:
Kernel requirements:
Linux Kernel 2.4.23+ or 2.6.x series
Kernel source and headers of running kernel
No module versioning support
option CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
Wireless Extensions support in kernel
v14+ required, v17+ recommended; option CONFIG_NET_RADIO
Sysctl support in kernel
option CONFIG_SYSCTL
Crypto API support in kernel
option CONFIG_CRYPTO
HMAC support
option CONFIG_CRYPTO_HMAC
AES support (for WPA networks)
option CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES
Requirements for configuring the wireless card:
madwifi-tools -- suite of tools designed specifically for madwifi-supported cards
iwconfig -- part of "wireless-tools" package in N series
wpa_supplicant -- for WPA encrypted networks - in N package series
NOTE: You can place the SlackBuild and slack-desc.{tools,driver} files
in the same directory without conflicts, and then you only have to
keep one copy of the madwifi source code around...
