Dear All

I'm having problems with using madwifi to configure a D-Link DWA-645.  I am using Fedora Core 9 and using yum to install madwifi 0.9.4-1 from the livna repositories.

I have run modprobe ath_pci and lsmod | grep ath_pci reports:

ath_pci                80416  0
wlan                  170060  1 ath_pci
ath_hal               193232  1 ath_pci

lspci in turn reports (not sure if it is relevant that I have an on board wlan card):

02:03.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04)
03:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5416 802.11abgn Wireless PCI Adapter (rev 01)

dmesg reports:

ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel.
ath_hal: 0.9.18.0 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413)
wlan: 0.9.4
ath_pci: 0.9.4

The problem I get is when I issue the command:

wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta

when I receive the error message:

wlanconfig: ioctl: No such device

My questions are:

1.  Any ideas why wifi0 is not being created?

2.  Am I using madwifi or ath9?

3.  If it's madwifi will it work with an 802.11n card such as the DWA-645?


Any help would much appreciated.

Thanks

Paul
