I'm using wicd so using the interfaces file is useless for me. Even if I tried, the first problem to solve would be it's inability to scan for APs. If I have the interface up and running it doesn't matter if it knows where to connect, I should be able to search for networks, no?<br>
<br>The weird thing is the same happens with ath5k, madwifi-modules in repositories and madwifi compiled from new sources. Instead, I tried a live cd of eeexubuntu and it worked flawlessly. I think the problem is somewhere else, and it seems to be something wrong with the new 2.6.26 kernel. Is there someway I can go back to 2.6.25 and try without breaking my system?<br>
<br>Thanks in advance!<br>

</div></div>I'm using ath5k, and it works well...<br>
Here is my interfaces (using wpa_supplicant), maybe it can help you?<br>
<br>
# The loopback network interface<br>
auto lo<br>
iface lo inet loopback<br>
<br>
# The primary network interface<br>
iface wlan0 inet manual<br>
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf<br>
post-up /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 rate 11M<br>
iface default inet dhcp<br>
iface eth0 inet dhcp<br>
<br>
I put the 11M rate in order to have constant output: the auto rate cuts<br>
when I stream some music<br>
