"Unfortunately" I'm allready running non-smp and the exact same
kernelversion.
I tried multiple options when installing (it's a clean laptop so nothing
importend is on it)
I tried doing the default install (using 2.4 kernel), I tried the kernel26
option which installs it with a 2.6 kernel...
I tried the 2.4 and then upgrading to 2.6.
I have added an alias in /etc/modutils/test containing alias ath0 ath_pci.
I have installed the headers for the above kernels and today I tried
installing debian with the 2.6 option... install the headers.. download
madwifi... did a make and did a make install... did a modprobe ath_pci and
added the alias as mentioned above.
I just noticed something in the syslog tho (which must've been when doing
make / make install for the madwifi).
This does not look good to me really hahaha...
Any explanations for this anyone?
