Ok, thanks for the info.
By the way, I was perhaps a bit to fast saying that "it wotks". Actually it
worked for the whole day, then there was a general electrical failure,
which means my AP when down and my laptop on battery (don't know which one
is responsible).
When I tried to re-connect to the AP, no way to use the wifi. Even rebooting
couldn't change that. Then I tried to reinstall the madwifi drivers, and
when I loaded ath_pci (after unloading ath9k) I has what looks like a bad
error:

(IRQ 17 was used by the wireless chip). After that, I rebooted and
everything works fine again with ath9k.
Do you have any idea how to investigate this?
Thanks,
