The wifi0 device is the raw device created by the madwifi drivers, from there you create a usable device (usually ath0 but this is entirely arbitrary). Check the default /etc/network/interfaces file for an example of this (play around with wlanconfig from the CLI, try deleting and creating various devices). In your case the wlan0 is likely paired (for lack of a better term) with the wifi0 device if they have the same hwaddr (check with "ip addr") . It sounds like one of your wifi devices is not detected but it is tough to say without more information. You might want to see what modules are in fact loaded (lsmod |grep 80211). I would also have a look at the output from lspci. 2011/7/4 John Schultz <jschultz0...@gmail.com>: > OK,... this will most likely be a stupid question and I apologize in advance > for that, its just that I have not figured it out yet.
