Thanks for that David. I checked the syslog and there are a bunch of
messages relating to ath_pci and ath_hal. They don't seem very revealing;
nothing like "bad driver" or "broken" or "missing". I'm not really sure
what I should be looking for.
The output of ifconfig is easier. Here it is (I've omitted the eth0 and lo
stuff)
wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0e:9b:cf:bc:0c

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

Does this look like it's happy with the driver?
Cheers,
Jonathan
