Trouble with MADWIFI-ng and WG511T; HELP PLEASE!

[TexRyker]

Hello,

I am stuck at this point I have spent hours running over lots of posts from the web and I still can not get MADWIFI-NG to work with my netgear WG511T card.

Here are the steps I have taken (Running HP AMD Turion Laptop & B|T2 Live CD)

Login with normal steps acpi=off etc.

start following the following post from the How to section:
EDIT can't post link but if you look under the Howto section it is Titled "How to get Madwifi-ng drivers to work properly!"

I downloaded the latest snapshot: "madwifi-ng-r2197-20070313"
Then extract to desktop to run

Navigate to the directory in the command prompt

type: make && make install
It runs for a few and shows no errors.

At this point my iwconfig still shows ath0

do "rmmod-w ath_pci.ko" This kills my ath0 at this point when I look at iwconfig

do "modprobe ath_pci" at this point I get stuck on:

and get

Fatal: Error inserting ath_pci (/lib/modules/2.6.18-rc5/net/ath_pci.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

or

do "insmod ath_pci.ko"

and get

"insmod: error inserting 'ath_pci.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module"

I run dmesg and here are the last few logs:

pccard: card ejected from slot 0 (I popped out my card on this test to see if it would help)
ath_pci: driver unloaded
ath_pci: unknown symbol ieee80211_rate_attach
ath_pci: unknown symbol ieee80211_rate_detach
ath_pci: unknown symbol ieee80211_rate_attach
ath_pci: unknown symbol ieee80211_rate_detach

I also tried adding atho to the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf via instructions on the MADWIFI instructions page for using slackware.

I'm stumped at this point and I can not find anything else on the web of any help.

If you know the answer and have any additional tips as well that would be great as I will not be loading this onto my hard drive so I have to do this every time I want to run these drivers.

Thank you much in advance,

TexRyker

I don't know if that will be of any help but for my part I just have to make for my WG511T to work:

airmon-ng start wifi0.

Why do you want to do with madwifi driver?

[TexRyker]

I am new at this so I maybe wrong but I can not set the card to monitor mode by typing ath0 mode monitor as it will not let me. Any other ideas or do I need to? I have seen you need the madwifi drivers to get it to work?
Thank you,

I think I may have got it.

airmong-ng start wifi0 11

This pulls up an additional to the list being ath1 which is set to mode monitor. So now am I good to go cap some IVs?

[nortonova]

sur now you can use ath1.
