MADWifi, that is.

I installed the kernel modules as described [link|http://www.marlow.dk/site.php/tech/madwifi|here], and then did:

\r\nroot@ariel# cat >> /etc/modules\r\nath_pci\r\n^D\r\n

Next step was to edit /etc/network/interfaces:

\r\n# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)\r\n\r\n# The loopback interface\r\nauto lo\r\niface lo inet loopback\r\n\r\n# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation\r\n# (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)\r\nauto ath0\r\n#iface eth0 inet static\r\n#       address 10.200.1.50\r\n#       netmask 255.255.0.0\r\n#       network 10.200.0.0\r\n#       broadcast 10.200.255.255\r\n#       gateway 10.200.1.1\r\n\r\niface ath0 inet static\r\n        wireless_ap 00:09:5B:E7:xx:xx\r\n        wireless_channel 11\r\n        wireless_essid <mumble>\r\n        wireless_rate 54MB\r\n        address 10.200.1.50\r\n        netmask 255.255.0.0\r\n        network 10.200.0.0\r\n        broadcast 10.200.255.255\r\n        gateway 10.200.1.1\r\n

\r\nI then added the MAC address of the card to the router's access list (I had a brief but abortive experiment with WEP) and that's it. /etc/init.d/networking restart and workee!\r\n

The only CAT5 cable in my house now is the one between the cable modem and the WGT624 router :-)
