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. |

If the "How to install madwifi" gentoo wiki page is what you are |
| 17 |
reffering to, it may be a little bit out of date. You can take a look |
| 18 |
on madwifi.org's web page for an up-to-date requirements. |
