This problem troubles me for a long time. The madwifi modules can't be loaded correctly at startup. I have to rmmod all the madwifi modules, and modprobe them again, then they work! It's so strange...
Anybody give some hints? $uname -r 2.6.23-ARCH My wireless network adapter: 01:04.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc.
