| emerge -s madwifi shows two packages, madwifi-driver and madwifi-tools... I have installed the driver, but I am wondering what the tools are for? |

They are here to give the user tools to get information from the driver and set some things.
Madwifi-driver contains *only* the differnet kernel-modules needed to operate an Atheros based WiFi-Card.
| Code: | * Contents of net-wireless/madwifi-tools-0.1_pre20051111:
/sbin
/sbin/wlanconfig
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/80211debug
/usr/bin/80211stats
/usr/bin/athchans
/usr/bin/athctrl
/usr/bin/athdebug
/usr/bin/athkey
/usr/bin/athstats
/usr/share
/usr/share/man
/usr/share/man/man8
/usr/share/man/man8/80211debug.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/80211stats.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/athchans.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/athctrl.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/athdebug.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/athkey.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/athstats.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/wlanconfig.8.gz |
E.g. wlanconfig can be used to create a ath0 device from the virtual wifi0 interface.
If you like to know more type "man <cmd>" to get a manpage for the coresponding command. |
