I'll be wandering into this territory later today, since I got an ADSL
connection yesterday (yippie, going from broadband back to dial-up is
painful, it's even more painful when BT is screwing around for a year
before the telephone line is even able to dael with ADSL)... Sorry, I'll
try to control my irritation over BT's incompetence.
Is the correct kernel module(s) loaded. I found the package
madwifi-source, and you might need to compile it before all the required
modules are available on your system.
