[ATrpms-devel] Help nedeed - madwifi drivers for AR5007* cards for CentOS 5 prepared

[Ljubomir Ljubojevic]

Hi Axel.

I created madwifi package for AR5007* Atheros radios for CentOS 5.x 
using your scep file for madwifi-0.9.4.1 and I need your help to finish 
it. Or better said, I have almost everything prepared and I would like 
you to download the source I prepared, check it for errors, fix the 
issue with 2 unpacked files (scripts) I had to comment-out from spec 
file, build it and publish it at ATrpms.

Source1 and Source2 I took from mainstream madwifi, they are needed for 
proper functioning, but since I am very new in rpm building, could not 
understand why compiling stops (I added error message inside spec file.

I produced rpm's for 2.6.18-128.1.6 kernel (i386) and tried them (I 
first uninstalled ones I build from source) and they work like the charm 
several days now, so I think they are ready for deployment.

Download location for src file:
http://www.plcomputers.net/download/plc-centos5-custom/SRPMS/madwifi-0.10.5.6-1_r4003_AR5007.el5.src.rpm

I have set change log to initial build, but you are welcome to edit it 
to reflect your spec file policy, but please leave my name since this is 
  first package I submit to any repository. until now I have rebuild 
some 75 (+50 untested) rpms from various Fedora repository's 
(http://www.plcomputers.net/download/plc-centos5-custom) but I have 
never build from source archive.

I use your stable repository as first addition (just after the EPEL 
repository) and I am very happy with it. I must say I was irritated with 
  all the macros (I tried to compile also for other kernels I have devel 
packages for and could not find the way for it) but I know you have good 
reasons for doing so.

For those liking my rebuilds, I am planing to also make public the 
src.rpm's very shortly.

Thanks,
