AW: Re: [Voyage-linux] After kernelmodification the madwifi diver doesntwork anymore

[Müller Michael]

Hi,

I just downloaded voyage Kernel sources and modifided the modules (make modules && make modules_install). Shouldn't madwifi-ng being comiled within this process?

If I try to apt-get the madwifi module for voyage (withoug ng in the name) the compiler says that the madwifi-ng modul ist already isntalled. But modprobe ath_pci says FATAL. Module  ... not isntalled...

Does it help to just install the newest madwifi driver from their website (Make && make install)?
