+
+This image has everything baseline [wiki:Documentation/SupportedImages/baseline-7.11.ndz baseline-7.11.ndz] but we upgaded:
+
+ * [http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/download compat-wireless-2.6] and the way its used (more on this below)
+ * MadWifi to 0.9.4
+
+The /misc/src/ is a NFS automount to commonly used source code experimenters may rely upon. We take advantage of this and keep a wireless-testing.git repository there updated hourly to reflect upstream. With the compat-wireless package installed on the baseline you can now easily get the latest updates by taking the following steps:
+
+{{{
+cd /usr/src/compat-wireless-2.6/
+# Get the latest compat-wireless-2.6 changes first
+git-pull
+# Now lets pull the latest changes from our local GIT_TREE on the NFS directory
+./scripts/admin-update.sh 
+# If we want to try to hack on any drivers or mac80211 we can do so now
+# Once you are done compile the wireless subsystem
+make
+# Finally install it
+make install
+# Now to load your drivers, first you must unload your current wireless subsystem drivers
+make unlaod
+# Now load the driver you need, whether it be ath5k, or ipw2200
+modprobe ath5k
+modprobe ipw2200
+}}}
+
+You can switch between MadWifi and ath5k easily:
+
+To load MadWifi:
+{{{
+athload madwifi
+}}}
+
+To load ath5k:
+{{{
+athload ath5k
+}}}
+
+== Notes ==
+
+Debian has now moved from 2.6.22 to 2.6.24. If you try to apt-get dist-upgrade you will be moved to 2.6.24, but there is a bug with 2.6.24 that affects our nodes. The oops happens before serial access is even available so the only way to see this is if you have a VGA monitor connected. Just for reference the following is the oops and it will be looked into.
+
+The oops bellow was transcribed from a picture. The same oops occurs separate nodes.
