This is FC6 so it has:
$ rpm -qa|grep wireless
wireless-tools-devel-28-1.fc6
wireless-tools-28-1.fc6
My advice is to grab the latest svn of madwifi-ng (or at least the
latest 'reported-somewhat-stable-reccommended' version from the
madwifi website [madwifi.org], and compile it from source and use it.
Livna is usually *way* out of date with madwifi.
I fought this battle a lot. I finally was able to get it working with
Cisco LEAP a while back, but I've since changed jobs and haven't
messed with it in a long time. Let me know if you need some help and
I'll see if I can dig up my hacks and tricks.
talk to you later.

Thanks...
the two biggest things I am curious about how and why this is all
working (and therefore how not to "optimize into brokenness" ;^) are:
1.) My ath0 card responds to commands directed at "ath0", so what is FC6
trying to do with "wifi0". I can actually assign a different fixed IP to
each of them. I use a CLI script kludge to do that and I don't mess with
the ifcfg-ath or ifcfg-wifi files system files and other such files...
Well don't let me lie here, I did do this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 165 Dec 23 14:25 original-ifcfg-wifi0
so now all I see now is this with no "wifi0" entry, and everything is
working:
$ netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt
Iface
192.168.31.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
ath0
0.0.0.0 192.168.31.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
ath0
That's as brave as I want to get right now...
2.) What the "boot" sequence is from start to finish is for a wifi card
just like you pretty much need to know the boot sequence for Linux
itself before you can delve into it any deeper...
But DJA had the right suggestion, to go there I need to go to the other
specific forums, but KPLUG does give very good tips on what to consider...
Thanks!
