| Post subject: | R5E50 Wireless Networking Support Broken? |
In R5D1 my wireless network card (DLINK - atheros based) was recognized as ATH0 and worked during and after installation. In R5E50, I do not have the choice of selecting ATH0 during installation. If I set the connection up manually, by copying /etc/network/interfaces, I receive an error about a missing library file. When trying to compile madwifi modules, I run into errors because the Kernel source is not included in the install. However, iwconfig and other wireless tools are still present in the OS. Due to the location of the box, I am unable to use regular CAT5 cabling. Is this something that will be fixed in the next release? I would like to gain the functionality of SATA support with the newer 2.6.18 kernel... (without having to jump through hoops) Another problem I am having, is with the Hauppauge PVR-150 (non-mce) Remote control IR sensor seems to work for the first couple of times after installation, and then just quits. After a re-install, it works.. I did have to manually set the tuner type to 50 as IVTV didn't automatically recognize the card. LIRCD process seems to initially load and shows up in the process list, but the "lirc_dev" process does not load. When the remote is working, both processes appear to be running. All that aside, MythTV is an awesome program. Hat's off to the community. Joe |

Details on how to get the kernel source can be found here: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=13281 Perhaps you could download the files on another machine and burn them onto a CD to get them to your MythTV box, and then try compiling madwifi. Others found a workaround here: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=13123 |

check out the cookbook for ndiswrapper here http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=14073&highlight=ndiswrapper and just replace with madwifi as I have just done this and everything is working fine cat5 out, wifi in! |

Code: root@mythtv:~/madwifi-0.9.2.1# make
Checking requirements... ok. Checking kernel configuration... ok. make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-chw-13/build SUBDIRS=/root/madwifi-0.9.2.1 modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-chw-13' make[1]: Makefile: No such file or directory make[1]: *** No rule to make target `Makefile'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-chw-13' make: *** [modules] Error 2 After installing the kernel source, this is the error I get when trying to compile the madwifi drivers... Any ideas on what's wrong at this point? |

nothing could be easier fixed 
Code: rm -r /lib/modules/2.6.18-chw-13/build
ln -s /usr/src/linux-source.2.6.18-chw-13 /lib/modules/2.6.18-chw-13/build This is because the /lib/modules is still pointing to the headers directory. I take it you've also redirected /usr/src/linux to you new source dir.
