I've got a newbie-esque question to ask the list. I have an Atheros wifi
card in my laptop
that I would like to get working. I've done a fair bit of research and
it looks like I'll have
the best shot with the madwifi driver. The problem is that Mandriva
lists 5 different rpms
for madwifi:
- madwifi-0.20050121-2mdk
- madwifi-kernel-2.6.11-6mdk-0.20050121-1mdk
- madwifi-kernel-2.6.11-6mdkBOOT-0.20050121-1mdk
- madwifi-kernel-2.6.11-6mdk-i586-up-1GB-0.20020121-1mdk
- madwifi-kernel-2.6.11-6mdk-i686-up-4GB-0.20050121-1mdk
The question is which one do I use? Uname -r gives 2.6.11 as the
installed kernel and
the laptop is a Toshiba Satellite with a 2.8Ghz Celeron and 512 MB ram.
TIA
John
