Re: Issue to see ath0 after building madwifi on Debian

Hi Sebastien,

Quoting "Cayetanot, Sebastien" <[email protected]>:

It would be nice if you wrote everything in one message.  It's hard to  
understand what you have downloaded and patched.  I believe you should  
not have to patch the current snapshot from the 0.9.4 branch:

http://snapshots.madwifi-project.org/madwifi-0.9.4-current.tar.gz

If you are having compile problems with it, please let me know.  I'll  
try to fix it.

Please don't rephrase error messages.  It makes it harder to find out  
what is going on.  It's better that you give one error message exactly  
as is.

I believe you may have some modules loaded from another version of  
MadWifi.  You can run madwifi-unload or reboot the system to make sure  
those modules are not loaded.  I hope you are using "make install" to  
install the modules.
