phy0: Atheros AR5416 MAC/BB Rev:2 AR2133 RF Rev:81
mem=0xffffc90001880000, irq=17
I get few or no results when I do
iwlist wlan1 scan with kernel 2.6.37
but it is consistently good with kernel 2.6.36.2
Is there a way to compare the kernel configs to make sure I didn't
change anything?

Easy way is to install the compat wireless in the kernel (like Ubuntu
2.6.25 generic where by default WEXT will be enabled).
Otherwise you must take care of enabling all those things in kernel config
like CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=y
hope this helps.

Please try with latest compat wireless, which might be helpful

Do I understand it correctly that it is just newer and will be in the
kernel eventually?
How can I see what version of the driver I am using?
