WG511T card and MadWifi

[Daniel Gimpelevich]

It now occurs to me that you never said whether you installed YDL 4.0 or
4.0.1, and the symptoms you now describe are consistent with someone who
installed 4.0 and never did a "yum update" to bring the system up to date.
After you do that, edit /etc/yaboot.conf to make sure it references
vmlinux-2.6.10-1.ydl.1 and initrd-2.6.10-1.ydl.1.img, and type "ybin -v"
followed by a reboot. Your wireless should work after that. Before you
type "yum update" you may need to type "rpm -ev kernel-g5 kernel-g5-smp"
for it to work.
