I'm not a guru setting up MadDriver, but at the physical layer I see
that you have:
Link Quality=16/94
This is _very_ low, normally I won't expect success in data
transmission with a quality below 50%.
I also see that you are connected at 36 MBps, this can be due to the
low quality in signal also.
I recommend you disabling the WEP encryption until you set up the
connection correctly, just to make things easier. Then you can also
try to:
- Fix the transmit rate in Atheros config file: try first to fix it to
11M and then check the link quality. Keep increasing it until you see
that the quality decreases
- If you're using dhcp ensure that you've obtained a valid ip from the server
That's all :)
Hope it helps you
cheers
