[ATrpms-users] Getting new ath5k madwifi driver working

[Scott Simpson]

Now that Axel has updated to the new ath5k madwifi driver (Thanks Axel!), I 
thought I'd explain what I did to get it working (I'm using WPA2/AES). First, 
you won't be using the ath0 device anymore; you'll be using wlan0. Next, 
unload all ath* drivers and load up ath5k with "modprobe ath5k". You should 
see a wlan0 show up. Then do the following as root:

ip link set wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid <your_essid>

Then set wpa_supplicant to use -iwlan0 rather than -iath0. That's it. It now 
should work as it did when using ath0.

I got this information from http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k.

Now to try to fix ivtv...
