Andy, are you using testing or unstable right? From messages Ed has sent he appears to be using stable, so unless he uses packages from another branch he cannot use madwifi-dev, madwifi-source and madwifi-tools. I have a dwl-g510 too and to make it works I have had to install madwifi from tarball sources. You can get it from http://snapshots.madwifi.org/ Marcello Em Seg, 2005-12-05 às 15:49 -0700, Ed Young escreveu: > David, thanks for the pointers, but I'm still not there yet.
