I am running my wife's computer running 8.04, a completely new install, but without internet access. I have copied and unpacked madwifi package and am trying to install it following given instructions. I first set all madwifi devices down using ifconfig. They were ath0,eth0,lo, and wifi0. As requested, I then ran ./madwifi-unload.bash in scripts subdir. I got
Fatal: module wlan_scan_sta is in use
Fatal: Module wlan is in use
I then ran ifconfig in terminal and saw that ath0 showed up again. I then repeated ifconfig command to set ath0 down and repeated bash command which gave the same FATAL errors On google, lots of people seem to get these errors, and some have proceeded with make. Is this safe and could I recover if anything goes wrong?
