Hello Jeremy, Yesterday I updated the madwifi drivers and usertools in CVS and also updated the hostapd and wpa-tools. The wlanconfig program is part of the madwifi.lrp package. The modules and most of the packages are Bering-uClibc-2.4beta1 (kernel 2.4.32) material. If you don't want to upgrade, you can try the madwifi.lrp package which should work with Bering-uClibc-2.3 too. Maybe you don't need the hostapd at all to enable AP mode, but I don't have any experience with it.
The modules you loaded seem correct, I think it's only a matter of bringing up the interface with wlanconfig. Please report succes or failure and your final setup. The latest 2.4.32! modules (madwifi-ng) can be found in: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/leaf/bin/bering-uclibc/packages/ You need Bering-uClibc_modules_2.4.32.tar.gz The madwifi.lrp package (which included wlanconfig) can be found in: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/leaf/bin/packages/uclibc-0.9/20/testing/ (there is also a "maddebug.lrp" package available with madwifi debugging tools) The hostapd package, which support madwifi-ng AP can be found in: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/leaf/bin/packages/uclibc-0.9/20/2.4.32/ There is also a wpasupp package with madwifi-ng support (WPA supplicant): http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/leaf/bin/packages/uclibc-0.9/20/testing/ Information about Host AP and WPA can be found at: http://hostap.epitest.fi/ Arne's genmodules doesn't contain the latest madwifi modules yet. Arne, can you update the 2.4.32 modules in genpage (sorry ;)) Eric > I posted a few months ago regarding trying to get madwifi working on my > router.
