I'm trying to install madwifi to get my dwl-g510 wifi card working. Atheros chipset.
I can't find madwifi packages when searching the stable branch, so I downloaded the file madwifi-source_20041023-1_all.deb from http://madwifi.sf.net This package won't install because of dependency problems (see below) Is there a way to resolve this correctly, or are there other packages that won't error out when installing? Please advise. Thanks. falcon:/home/ed# dpkg -i madwifi-source_20041023-1_all.deb Selecting previously deselected package madwifi-source.
