i am having trouble connecting to one of the wifi access points in my n'hood.
when i do this:
sudo modprobe ath_pci
sudo modprobe wlan_scan_sta
sudo iwpriv ath0 mode 2
sudo wlanconfig ath0 list scan
sudo iwlist ath0 scan
sudo iwconfig ath0 ap any
i get:

sudo dhclient ath0

ath0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Invalid argument
ping: unknown host xspace.com
also, doing exactly the same thing -- ap address and essid string changed of
course -- i get a connection at another wifi site. and the result of 'iwlist
ath0 scan' etc at the sites is identical except for the access point and
essid string.
ideas?
thanks,
