Title:
madwifi not working on macbook core duo (Broadcom chip)
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
After installing ubuntu 8.04 on my new macbook core duo, I installed
madwifi following the instructions here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook
I obtained:
> wget http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-trunk-current.tar.gz
...
> tar -zxvf madwifi-trunk-current.tar.gz
...
> cd madwifi-trunk-r3573-20080425/
> make
...
> make install-modules
...
> echo -e '#!/bin/sh\n/sbin/iwpriv ath0 bgscan 0' | sudo tee -a
/etc/acpi/resume.d/99-madwifi-bgscan.sh
...
> chmod 755 /etc/acpi/resume.d/99-madwifi-bgscan.sh
> modprobe ath_pci
> lsmod | grep ath
ath_pci 239928 0
wlan 236272 1 ath_pci
ath_hal 253920 1 ath_pci
> iwpriv ath0 bgscan 0
ath0 no private ioctls.
> ifconfig

...so the ath0 and wifi0 devices are not there. These are the last four lines
of dmesg output:
[ 233.654814] ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel.
[ 233.657570] ath_hal: 0.9.30.13 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, AR5416, RF5111,

[ 233.690538] ath_pci: svn r3573
Any help most welcome, a laptop without wireless is not much use!
