Re: Unable to configure MadWifi as a simple AP on Ubuntu

Hi Ashwin,

Those three statements were inserted into the script to "start from a 
clean state". By default, my Ubuntu comes with ath5k installed and 
automatically loaded at boot time. So I first remove all the loaded 
wireless modules and then insert ath_pci again as shown in the original 
script.

So yes, in short, I want to work with MadWifi

Any help on creating this basic setup will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
regards,
Aditya Bhave
