Finally have a Centos install on my HP4010 worth working on, and put my Atheros PCI card in instead of the Intel (Intel was always flaky with XP, Atheros not).

Have you succeeded in getting wpa encryption working with the Atheros/madwifi drivers??
My madwifi card works just fine with no encryption but I cannot get it to work with the wpa encryption turned on.
You need the madwifi-ng driver to use WPA, if I'm not completely wrong. Having no WPA enabled access point to test it on, I couldn't say if it works, though.
http://madwifi.org/wiki/Releases/0.9.0 - they put out the first release based on madwifi-ng 2 days ago.
At first when I say the -ng designation, I was skeptical, as this normally refers to pre-11n MIMO stuff. But looking at the wiki, I see it is more than that.
I also see that on http://atrpms.net/dist/el4/madwifi/ the version is 0.9.1 which I hope is the -ng code. Further I might think that I can use: http://dl.atrpms.net/all/madwifi-0.9.1-24.el4.at.i386.rpm even though this is RH 4?
After I install this driver, do I run Kudzu to get the card recognized?
BTW, I will be at the IEEE 802 plenary in San Diego next week (heading to IETF in Montreal this week), and will talk to Chesson and other of my Atheros colleagues about progress. Now that I actually need his help on this!
