Hi all,
hi Sam,

I just build world && kernel from todays sources.
Now my Atheros 5212 pccard cannot find my wireless network any more, but
still sees other networks:

lars@pts/3 # ifconfig wlan0 up scan
SSID            BSSID              CHAN RATE   S:N     INT CAPS
Arcor-C6DE58    00:1a:2a:c6:de:56    9   54M -95:-96  100 EPS  RSN WPA WME
WLAN-AFCB47     00:1d:19:af:cb:e0    1   54M -96:-96  100 EPS  WPS RSN WPA WME
0x0000          00:03:c9:54:18:bb    8   54M -94:-96  100 EP   WPA

In contrast to this, the internal wpi chip still finds and connects to the network:
lars@pts/3 # ifconfig wlan1 scan
SSID            BSSID              CHAN RATE   S:N     INT CAPS
dd-wrt          00:18:39:c7:6a:dd    6   54M  22:0    100 EP   RSN WME

I also don't know why wpi only finds my own network.

Some additional information:
