I'll tell you how my system is working, not exactly a troubleshoot but a
suggestion for you to try anyhow.
I'm using 2.6.30-1-686 and the iw, wireless-tools packages. madwifi,
ndiswrapper and wicd do not exist on my system.
lspci gives:
Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network
Adapter (rev 01).
Subsystem: Askey Computer Corp. Device 7128
Having said that, I suspect my laptop has the AR5007EG. No matter, it
works.
Relevant modules currently loaded are: ath5k, mac80211, cfg80211, rfcomm
(actually rfcomm may not be relevant-could be for bluetooth).
/etc/network/interfaces reads:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid Thomson
wpa-psk *********
gateway 192.168.0.1
Obviously the entries will differ for WEP. The gateway line is optional.
Having the interfaces file set as above, the network is brought up with
sudo ifup wlan0.
Hope this helps!
