Hi,
On a Debian Testing I just compiled the new module from
madwifi-source. How do I reload that module without rebooting? lsmod
does not list madwifi as a module. My current modules are:
$> lsmod
Module Size Used by
[snip]
ath_hal 301696 3 ath_pci,ath_rate_sample
[snip]
Thanks,

The Madwifi module is ath_pci - see ath_pci above in your lsmod output.
To reload it, something like the below command, as root, should do the
trick:
modprobe -rv ath_pci && modprobe -v ath_pci

Thanks for the tips. However, ran in to some problems. Here is what
happened:
~# /etc/init.d/hostapd stop
Stopping advanced IEEE 802.11 management: hostapd.
~# lsmod | grep ath
ath_pci 206936 0
ath_rate_sample 12384 1
wlan 200912 6
wlan_tkip,wlan_xauth,ath_pci,wlan_scan_ap,ath_rate_sample
ath_hal 301696 3 ath_pci,ath_rate_sample
~# modprobe -rv ath_pci
rmmod /lib/modules/2.6.25-2-686/kernel/drivers/net/ath_pci.ko
~# lsmod | grep ath
ath_rate_sample 12384 0
wlan 200912 4
wlan_tkip,wlan_xauth,wlan_scan_ap,ath_rate_sample
ath_hal 301696 1 ath_rate_sample
~# modprobe -v ath_pci
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.25-2-686/kernel/drivers/net/ath_pci.ko autocreate=ap
FATAL: Error inserting ath_pci
(/lib/modules/2.6.25-2-686/kernel/drivers/net/ath_pci.ko): Unknown
symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
So I just rebooted the machine.
