Help with AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)

[Kel Modderman]

Hi,

This list is less for support than it is about discussing the Debian specific
aspect of madwifi. I once used to try and support people but not anymore am not
using the driver much, not following madwifi project as closely and not very
helpful anymore :)

I suggest contacting the madwifi-user mailing list (details on madwifi.org),
where there is better chance of gaining help. Searching the archives first
should give you information even without having to ask, because questions
similar to yours are asked all the time.

Thanks, Kel.
