wpa_suplicant andmadwifi-ng

I'm looking toinstall wpa_suplicant from AUR and have just been reading the comments on the package page. The last one is:

Comment by: stimpy on 20060531 [08:41:38]
updated to wpa_supplicant v0.4.9 and madwifi-ng v0.9.0 (first release)

but I can't find madwifi-ng in AUR. Am I right that it is missing or have I missed it?

If madwifi-ng isn't in AUR should I just use the latest sources from the madwifi site or should I use a specific version?

Re: wpa_suplicant andmadwifi-ng

madwifi-ng is in [unstable]

currently, it's a more recent SVN snapshot, I've only just been alerted to their release, so I will make a package for that and put it in [extra].

Re: wpa_suplicant andmadwifi-ng

Am I looking in the wrong place then? If I go here http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php and search for madwifi I get the original madwifi and wpa_suplicant, no ng.

I've got the binary package installed using pacman but I need the source release so I can build wpa_suplicant.

[unstable] is an official repository. you'll have more luck lookin on cvs.archlinux.org if you want the PKGBUILD.

Search here:

You'll need to add/uncomment the unstable repo in your pacman.conf to install it with pacman.

Re: wpa_suplicant andmadwifi-ng

Thanks for the tips, I've no idea if I've done it the "correct" way but I'm now running wpa on top of madwifi-ng.

Off to celebrate :-)
