I've had the same problem here; using a 3com OfficeConnect (3CXJK10075 I think). I've just rebuild my laptop and used 0.1_pre20050809 and it didn't work. I tried different kernel settings, different versions of madwifi-driver and madwifi-tools, along with wireless-tools and wpa_supplicant. In the end I had to remove all the modules (rm -Rf /lib/modules) and reinstall all the modules before rebuilding wireless-tools, madwifi-driver, madwifi-tools in that order. - ----- * net-wireless/madwifi-driver Available versions: ~0.1_pre20050107 ~0.1_pre20050224 ~0.1_pre20050420 ~0. 1_pre20050809 Installed: 0.1_pre20050420 Homepage: http://madwifi.sourceforge.net/ Description: Wireless driver for Atheros chipset a/b/g cards * net-wireless/madwifi-tools Available versions: ~0.1_pre20050106 *0.1_pre20050107 ~0.1_pre20050420 Installed: 0.1_pre20050420 Homepage: http://madwifi.sourceforge.net/ Description: Wireless tools for Atheros chipset a/b/g cards * net-wireless/wireless-tools Available versions: 27-r1 ~28_pre8-r1 Installed: 28_pre8-r1 Homepage: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourr..
