It's still the v1 of the driver, so basically the same that you used .. except that i rebuilt it from http://repo.redhat-club.org/redhat/5/SRPMS/atl2-kmod-1.0.40.4-el5.rhc.1.src.... ... We tried with Manuel Wolfshant to have the v2 driver built on 2.6.18 but it didn't work (Manuel took contact with the devel guy but i think he had still no answer )
As discussed yesterday on #centos-devel, I've created a patch [1] for madwifi (based on a version from fedora 8 [2]).
A src.rpm is available on my site [3]. Feel free to use the patch and/or src.rpm to provide support for an eeePC :)
Cheers, Niels

Thanks Niels
I've rebuilt your madwifi patched SRPM and it works ok on the Eee PC .. i still don't know what will be the official CentOS way regarding that .. but because madwifi contains 'non-free' stuff, it should be better if that rpm would be available from a third-party repo, and not from centos extras for example ... What others think about that ? I'll wait for an official answer before updating the wiki page and point to the madwifi rpms (madwifi and madwifi module)
