wireless madwifi install problems

hi.

I'm trying to install madwifi 0.9.3.1 on my slackware 12 First i cd the madwifi directory,then i do a "make",then i do a "make install" but when i do "modprobe ath_pci" it gives me "ath_pci mod not found"or something similar. I tried several time's but it give's me the same.

can you help me?

i believe that you need to use "sudo" in the "make install" and "sbin/modprobe ath-pci". this is for a Atheros wireless card{are you sure its an atheros card} found this here - http://xlayn.blogspot.com/2007/07/slackware-12-review.html

1. extract the driver $tar -jxf madwifi-0.9.3.1.tar.bz2 2. enter the directory of the driver $cd madwifi-0.9.3.1 3. make the kernel modules $make 4. install the kernel modules $sudo make install 5. insert the kernel module $sudo /sbin/modprobe ath-pci 6. configure your wireless with kwifimanager :D

here is another great how-to http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo

Thanks for your help.it's working now

You can compile it or save yourself some time by using the slackware package. http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/madwifi/pkg/
