Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Hello All, I've been using MadWifi since I picked up a PCMCIA card a few months ago. I've tried out the ath5k driver, but can't get the card to 'iwlist wlan0 scan' AP's, or even connect to an unsecured AP through 'iwconfig' commands. I've pasted an output of my dmesg output from both MadWifi and ath5k, as well as lspci -v.
