I don't checked if someone already compiled this, but, since I'am actively supporting puppy 3.01 series, I have compiled
madwifi-0.9.4
- http://www.dokupuppylinux.co.cc/programs:wireless
it contains kernel modules (2.6.21.7) for wireless adapters based on atheros chipset

It's worth mentioning that Puppy 3.x already contains the MADWiFi (ath_pci) driver, as standard.
Is this version significantly different, such as having been patched to support aircrack-ng, for example?

Yes, but certainly not all Atheros wifi chipsets. Specifically the ath_pci driver supports the Atheros AR5xxx series of wifi devices, in PCI and Cardbus form.Dingo wrote:... for wireless adapters based on atheros chipset

That's good, it's exactly the information I was asking for, and what was absent from the first post.
