ccrma + madwifi




A while ago I had tried to install CCRMA on my laptop, but had problems with getting my madwifi card to work on Fedora Core 7.

I just figured it out, it wasn't too bad at all:


1) Install the CCRMA yum repo RPM:

rpm -Uvh http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/mirror/fedora/linux/planetccrma/7/i386/planetccrma-repo-1.0-3.fc7.ccrma.noarch.rpm


2) Install the CCRMA core packages

yum install planetccrma-core


3) Install the source code for the CCRMA realtime kernel

yum install kernel-rt-devel


4) Download the madwifi source at:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82936


5) Untar the madwifi source

tar xvzf madwifi-0.9.3.2.tgz


6) Build and install the madwifi modules


make install KERNELPATH=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.21-0182.rt21.2.fc7.ccrma-rt-i686


7) Reboot with the CCRMA kernel and you're done!
