OK Nick's wrong again. madwifi does not follow that pattern, from the README: "There is only one driver included here; it supports PCI, miniPCI and Cardbus devices - USB devices are currently not supported by this driver! ... ... Using the driver ================ The driver should support any Atheros-based Cardbus or PCI device. This version of the driver is managed and controlled by the usual Linux tools (ifconfig, iwconfig, iwpriv) plus the wlanconfig ... First, run "modprobe ath_pci" or the equivalent using "insmod". When the driver is successfully loaded it creates two devices, named "wifi0" and "ath0"...." can you tell me what the following produces? cd /lib/modules find|grep ath_pci This will find the full path to the module. Then use dpkg -S to find which package it belongs to: dpkg -S /lib/modules/blah/blah/ath_pci.ko -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
