Finally, I emerged madwifi-ng and the WLAN card works. Add if I do the cmd manually: # /etc/init.d/net.ath0 start the interface can get IP address from dhcp normally. But when I add the net. ath0 to the runlevel default and reboot, it cannot obtain the IP information with dhcpcd... That means I have to run the network restart script every time the system boots... Can you give me some advices about this?
# cat /etc/conf.d/net # This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.* # scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration, # please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration # in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!). # config_eth0=( "dhcp" ) # dhcp_eth0="nonis nontp" modules=( "iwconfig" ) key_xxxxxx="[1] cccc-cccc-cccc-cccc-cccc-cccc-cc key [1] enc restricted" preferred_aps=( "xxxxxx" ) config_ath0=( "dhcp" ) dhcp_ath0="nonis nontp" Thank you very much.

Though ath5k driver will eventually replace the madwifi driver according to the development team, surely you can use your current 2.6.24 kernel with madwifi-ng package in portage. However, as Dirk has mentioned, the driver may or may not work with your card. So you may have to give it a try. > But the problem is I cannot find the "non-hamradio > WLAN" option in current kernel either... If the "How to install madwifi" gentoo wiki page is what you are reffering to, it may be a little bit out of date. You can take a look on madwifi.org's web page for an up-to-date requirements. http://madwifi.org/wiki/Requirements -- Sincerely, Jyo -- [email protected] mailing list -- [email protected] mailing list
