Thanks, that worked! (I haven't rebuild madwifi-tools though).


I the end I just didn't care! :) I rebuilt/remove/reinstalled anything 
that was associated with the wireless system. However, it seams that 
removing the modules is the major step, as anything user /lib/modules is 
governed by the configuration protection system and therefore nothing 
will be deleted/removed on a unmerge or clean.

 Thank you.

Which updates are you talking about- did you change kernels? Maybe you need to 
reemerge all the wifi and dhcpcd stuff.

I have a D-link Atheros based card, and here's what I do:

1. compile into the kernel all support items for wifi (not modules)

2. emerge all madwifi stuff (tools, driver), and dhcpcd

3. As root, type

iwconfig ath0

This brings up the config list, but no essid, and the address is all zeros.

then I type

 dhcpcd ath0

and it connects fine.

If I redo the iwconfig ath0 command, it now lists the essid name of my 
wireless router (linksys), and the numerical isp address dhcpcd found.

Hope this helps.

  Thank you.

 Which updates are you talking about-
madwifi, it was updated some days ago, to be exact, version 0.1_pre20050809 
released on 2005/08/10 12:44:19, while previously I was using 
0.1_pre20050420.

 did you change kernels? Maybe you need 
 to reemerge all the wifi and dhcpcd stuff.
No, I didn't change kernel (I am familiar with externas modules).


 I have a D-link Atheros based card, and here's what I do:

 1. compile into the kernel all support items for wifi (not modules)

 2. emerge all madwifi stuff (tools, driver), and dhcpcd

 3. As root, type

 iwconfig ath0

 This brings up the config list, but no essid, and the address is all zeros.

 then I type

  dhcpcd ath0

 and it connects fine.

 If I redo the iwconfig ath0 command, it now lists the essid name of my
 wireless router (linksys), and the numerical isp address dhcpcd found.
This is more or less what I used to do with the old driver that didn't cause 
kernel panics.

Thank you.

H.  I'm running ~x86 systems, and just synced yesterday, so I must be 
about as current as possible. I've had no problems with wifi.

UPDATE: Seems I'm still using  0.1_pre20050420, so apparently yesterday's ~x86 
sync and -uD world didn't pull in  0.1_pre20050809.
