But can you reach that repo with your eee pc (does it have a normal

Dear Erik, ... :-p

That was the alternative to a dd ... i was thinking about a very small
epo specific for the eeepc that could host the patched madwifi , the

The atl2 nic is a wired one ... the wireless nic (on the 900) needs a
specific madwifi version
So yes, assuming that the user wants to setup from the network/can
access the specific repo, that can be doable ..




But if Karanbir wants to take an alternative path to the traditionnal
anaconda stuff ...


Hm?

It's still the v1 of the driver, so basically the same that you used ..
except that i rebuilt it from
http://repo.redhat-club.org/redhat/5/SRPMS/atl2-kmod-1.0.40.4-el5.rhc.1.src.rpm
...
We tried with Manuel Wolfshant to have the v2 driver built on 2.6.18 but
it didn't work (Manuel took contact with the devel guy but i think he
had still no answer )


As discussed yesterday on #centos-devel, I've created a patch [1] for
madwifi (based on a version from fedora 8 [2]).

A src.rpm is available on my site [3]. Feel free to use the patch and/or
src.rpm to provide support for an eeePC

Cheers,
Niels

Thanks Niels

I've rebuilt your madwifi patched SRPM and it works ok on the Eee PC ..
i still don't know what will be the official CentOS way regarding that
.. but because madwifi contains 'non-free' stuff, it should be better if
that rpm would be available from a third-party repo, and not from centos
extras for example ...
What others think about that ? I'll wait for an official answer before
updating the wiki page and point to the madwifi rpms (madwifi and
madwifi module)
