Perhaps try to compile madwifi for the bigmem kernel manually? Also try debian-users mailing list, there's a lot more activity there and you are more likely to get a fast response. If you are still having troubles I would suggest re-sending your question over to debian-users. To try a manual compile of madwifi - first make sure you have the build-essential package installed (as root, aptitude install build-essential) and then: # m-a a-i madwifi It might compile successfully and if it does: # modprobe -rv ath_pci && modprobe -v ath_pci If this also seems successful, now check if wireless is working properly. Hope this helps. Jaime -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-laptop-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
