Hi Joe,

I have no idea what distro you're using.  But on the off-chance that its
Fedora Core 4, the install procedure (assuming you've upgraded to the
latest kernel) is:

  #  as root:
  rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release4.rpm
  yum install kernel-module-madwifi-2.6.15-1.1831_FC4

and thats it.  Just insert your cardbus card (or "ifup ath0" your
built-in mini-PCI card) and you should be all set.
