after that I did: sudo iwconfig ath0 ap xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx + sudo dhclient ath0 and now the wifi works fine :-) I don't understand truly why I lost my connection wifi.Perhaps it happened when I changed my key WPA: I changed it in /etc/network/interfaces but I forgot to change it in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
What does 'iwlist ath0 scan' give? Does 'ifconfig ath0 up' followed by 'iwconfig ath0 essid nnnnnnnn' accomplish anything?
Many thanks for your help and sorry for the trouble. --
