Hi to all
I was reading the great guide about MacBook Pro with Fedora Core 6
and lvm last edited by Gjanssens.
Under the to/do investigate section, he says "Configure wifi
(apparently the livna repository comes with a kmod-madwifi package
that supports Airport)"
Well - after reading on several forums today, I found something
interesting which might help a few people on having wifi working as
it should.
--- The explanation is ---
If you have a first generation MacBook (Core Duo) then your
wireless should just starting working since madwifi is included. If
you have a second generation MacBook (Core 2 Duo) then you have the
newer version of the Atheros Wifi chipset. The way I got the latter
working was by doing
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.8
sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt
sudo ndiswrapper -i "/mnt/Program Files/Macintosh Drivers for Windows
XP 1.1.2/net5416/net5416.inf"
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
sudo echo >> /etc/modules "ndiswrapper"
sudo umount /mnt
btw...these command obviously require you have the XP drivers and XP
on your HD.
I know it's using apt-get (it was written for Ubuntu) - but it should
be easily adapted for Yum.
Hope this helps
Best Regards
