Description of problem: Since FC7 includes the new devicescape wireless stack, Networkmanager should at least work with the Atheros Dadwifi drivers. Currently Networkmanager does not even detect the ath_pci wlan0 driver and does not show any wireless selections. Connecting with FC7 test4 by hand does work though. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download dadwifi-openhal branch: http://madwifi.org/browser/branches/dadwifi-openhal 2. Build & install 3. modprobe ath_pci 4. run "iwconfig wlan0 channel 1" (else it won't work, bug in dadwifi-openhal!) 5. modify the wpa_supplicant config file the standard way. 6. run wpa_supplicant with the "wext" driver: "wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext -iwlan0" Actual results: This isn't different to other wifi drivers (beside no. 4) and as such it should work with NetworkManager as well... Expected results: Atheros dadwifi-openhal should work.
works now for me with latest updates: - FC7 kernel 2.6.21-1.3149.fc7 - dadwifi-openhal branch with at least revision 2345 - latest FC7 networkmanager updates. Thanks!
