The internet is littered with wastes of space. This one is no different except that it is my waste of space.

Madwifi (NG), Karma and AirCrack

As promised, here are my ebuilds for gentoo to support the Atheros madwifi drivers with support for Karma and AirCrack-NG. Both old-style Madwifi and Madwifi-NG versions in case you like to use the older drivers.

I run my laptop with this patched madwifi-NG version all the time and haven't had any problems that I know of. Of course if things DO freak out I keep the distfiles around so I can just emerge -C madwifi-ng-karma and emerge -av madwifi-ng .. rmmod ath_pci; modprobe -a ath_pci and i'm back in business.

Gentoo really is a hackers linux distro.
