​Madwifi is a Linux kernel driver for Wireless LAN chipsets from Atheros. The Wiki pages create here are used to store extensive knowledge about Madwifi driver and new feature developments for WINLAB developpers.The ​official MadWifi website has very limited useful information for new developments. This is a good starting point to learn, share and practise new implementations which could enhance MAC, PHY/Radio and other cross-layer wireless research projects of WINLAB.
