Introduction to MadWifi
MadWifi is short for Multiband Atheros Driver for Wireless Fidelity. In other words: this project provides a Linux kernel device driver for Atheros-based Wireless LAN devices. The driver works such that your WLAN card will appear as a normal network interface in the system. Additionally there is support for the Wireless Extensions API. This allows you to configure the device using common wireless tools (ifconfig, iwconfig and friends).[1]

Getting the source
If you have Subversion installed issue the following command to download the source:
svn checkout http://madwifi-project.org/svn/madwifi/trunk madwifi
You may also want to create a tarball to use at a later time:
tar cvjpf madwifi-r$(svnversion madwifi).tar.bz2 madwifi
Dependencies
Required
- Subversion (To Get Source)
- Kernel Source
Non-Running Kernel
If you're attempting to build Madwifi for a kernel that's not currently running, also pass the following to make and make install.
KERNELPATH=/path/to/kernel/source
KERNELPATH defaults to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build.
Non-Multilib
Compile the package:
make
Install the package
make BINDIR=/usr/bin MANDIR=/usr/share/man install
Multilib
64Bit
Compile the package:
make CC="gcc ${BUILD64}"
Install the package
make BINDIR=/usr/bin MANDIR=/usr/share/man install
