As I see it, there are a couple of possibilities. One would be that you have a problem in your config file. The one that has gotten me in the past is the WIRELESS_IWCONFIG="key restricted" - if I forget the "s, it does not work. (You have to remember to use the "s in MCC too...)
The second is that you need firmware for your NIC. I have one that needs it, and if the firmware is missing, I get: "3rdparty/at76c503a/at76c503-fw_skel.c: firmware atmel_at76c505-rfmd2958.bin not found" in /var/log/messages. (It is a pain having to remember that when I upgrade kernels.) The third is that they changed the NIC without changing the model number or the USB ID. That is not suspossed to happen, but it does... I am not sure what you do in this case. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
