Does it mean > if I choose to install a madwifi driver I can still use my 2.6.24 kernel? Though ath5k driver will eventually replace the madwifi driver according to the development team, surely you can use your current 2.6.24 kernel with madwifi-ng package in portage. However, as Dirk has mentioned, the driver may or may not work with your card. So you may have to give it a try. > But the problem is I cannot find the "non-hamradio > WLAN" option in current kernel either... If the "How to install madwifi" gentoo wiki page is what you are reffering to, it may be a little bit out of date. You can take a look on madwifi.org's web page for an up-to-date requirements. http://madwifi.org/wiki/Requirements -- Sincerely, Jyo -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
