Package: madwifi-source
Version: 0.svn20051110-1
Severity: normal

Thanks for packaging madwifi.

/usr/share/doc/madwifi-source/README.Debian is missing a step. If I
create an /etc/network/interfaces stanza of

    iface eth1 inet dhcp
	    wireless_essid my-SSID
	    wireless_key mh-key 

and run "ifup eth1", I get:

    Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
	SET failed on device eth1 ; No such device.

Can you either describe how you map eth1 to the ath_pci module in your
README, or could you create an /etc/modprobe.d/madwifi file that
contains the appropriate aliases (or whatever is necessary to make this
happen automatically)? 

For some reason, adding "alias eth1 ath_pci" to /etc/modprobe.d/local
isn't working for me...

Thanks!
