Atheros Wireless(built-in card) and Debian I bought a laptop
recently, that had a Atheros built-in wireless card, installed
Derian(sarge) and madwifi. modprobe and ifconfig are going
smooth but still when it comes to the scanning network the card
says no reselts found. What should I do to make it work?

got the correct network type(iwpriv ath0 mode X, iwpriv ath0
will show you all the possible private ioctls to set on the
card)  If the AP you're trying to access is secured well enough,
scanning may not work unless you're mac authorized, or you know
the SSID or WEP/WPA key.  Make sure you're scanning correctly,
iwlist ath0 scan  check your kernel logs to see if you're
getting issues with the card itself, my EPIA system had to have
memory reserved for the card to work, that took about 2 weeks of
google hunting.  sudya 03-07-2006 12:23 P
