I would have to disagree on the "well supported" part of ththe above |
| 11 |
comment. In my experience it depends on what you are doing. I have found |
| 12 |
trying to use madwifi along with wpa_supplicant and trying to do WEP or LEAP |
| 13 |
just does not work, at least with DHCP. I have tested and tried multiple |
| 14 |
kernel, madwifi and wpa_supplicant versions and with all the same result. |
| 15 |
My test bed is T41 and my home Linksys WRT54G(which has run both native |
| 16 |
Linksys and DD-WRT software) and IBM's own internal network. |

At this point I would still have to unfortunately recommend ndiswrapper(in |
| 19 |
the process of trying to go back to it, had it working a while back, |
| 20 |
upgraded kernels, it broke then all of the madwifi). |

Good luck, |
