Checking requirements... FAILED
The 'uudecode' tool was not found on your system. Please make sure
it is installed in your PATH, then try again.

uudecode is apart of shartutils. Install it.

do u know where i can download shartutils, i googled it but i couldnt find it

pacman -S sharutils

If you don't have net access on that machine, download it from ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/extra/os/i686/s … pkg.tar.gz

Read the wiki wireless page, and search the forum for other madwifi threads.

Not sure if anyone reads the news, or checks the announcements, but uncomment [unstable] at the end of your pacman.conf so it doesnt ovveride everything and pacman -S madwifi-ng or pacman -S madwifi-ng-archck if you use archck.

little french wrote:

destroy the device created by default
wlanconfig ath0 destroy
creates the device ath0 as a normal 'station mode' VAP and active it
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
ifconfig ath0 up

when i try any of those it says "no such device"
