24 I've had the same problem here; using a 3com OfficeConnect (3CXJK10075 I
25 think). I've just rebuild my laptop and used 0.1_pre20050809 and it
26 didn't work.
27
28 I tried different kernel settings, different versions of madwifi-driver
29 and madwifi-tools, along with wireless-tools and wpa_supplicant. In the
30 end I had to remove all the modules (rm -Rf /lib/modules) and reinstall
31 all the modules before rebuilding wireless-tools, madwifi-driver,
32 madwifi-tools in that order.
