MADWiFi is short for Multiband Atheros Driver for WiFi. In other words: this project provides a Linux kernel driver for Atheros-based Wireless LAN devices. The driver works such that your WLAN card will appear as normal network interface in the system. Additionally there is support for the Wireless Extensions API. This allows you to configure the device using the usual tools (ifconfig, iwconfig and friends).
Some of the driver´s key features are:
- Allows operation as station, AP, ad-hoc, monitor. WDS is work in progress.
- Supports Wireless Extensions API.
- One driver for miniPCI and cardbus devices.
- Most of the current Atheros WLAN chipsets are supported.
- Supports WEP and WPA/802.11i.
- Support for 802.1x authentication in AP mode.
