Thanks for the reply. I have a lot to digest here. I'm not as
comfortable in this territory as others.
I did do the usual ldmod's etc and establish that what I expected (HAL,
etc) was loading. If I'm reading you right, the ones I have may be out
of date and/or broken. So I should either update or roll back.
I don't mind leaving the safety of rpm's but I am not sure where to go
for source tar balls or which to get. Perhaps if you or someone out
there has madwifi working with any kernel, you can give me the specs on
your stuff and I could try making my machine comply. You already
indicated that my kernel might need upgrading.
My laptop uses an Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG (built-in) card, so I can't
help you with your wireless chipset. But you might start here:

[Note: the following is quoted from a timely post on the HostAP mailing
list today]
The official madwifi site is http://www.madwifi.org/
The first time user's guide for madwifi is at...
http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo
You can join IRC channel #madwifi on irc.freenode.net at anytime, to
talk to the developers and support team and may get more help there.
There are also mailing lists you can join with the details for that
listed on the website.

A fair amount of useful info passes through the HostAP list found here:
<http://lists.shmoo.com/mailman/listinfo/hostap>, although you naturally
have to wade through stuff that is /not/ relevant.
Here's another useful link: <http://hostap.epitest.fi/hostapd/>
And you'll certainly need to pay attention to this:

If I think of more, I'll let you know. Ditto when I get my own wireless
working again :-\
