Atheros / Madwifi drivers missing on Knoppix 3.8 ?
Hi there,
up to Knoppix 3.7 (runnning Kernel 2.4) the madwifi drivers where included and so my atheros based WLAN card was fully functional without problems.
Now we have Knoppix 3.8 and the card does not work any longer. Is there a different driver now for Kernel 2.6?
What do I have to do to get my card running again?
Cheers

Funny you should mention that - I just started running 3.8 CeBit and have the same problem. 3.8 doesn't recognize my card (wlcardconfig) says that there's no wireless card ... now I'm booting off of the 3.7 CD to surf the net again - still trying to figure out the answer.

well, it appears that there are none of the madwifi drivers in the 3.8 /lib/modules/2.6.9/net
directory, specifically, ath.hal.o, ath_pci.o, and wlan.o
Looking in the 3.7 /lib/modules/2.4.27/net directory, you find those files as above (which, I believe that insmod loads upon boot of my 3.7)
So the next question is whether one should be able to remedy the problem by installing madwifi. Any takers out there?

Hello,
reports indicate, it's also missing in 3.8.1
