In fact I am not using wpa_supplicant - this attempt was just using "network" (the NetworkManager daemon plus Dispatcher were not running) I also turned off the firewall on this machine altogether (both ipv4 and 6) and it made no difference - and I cannot even ping the wireless router from this machine. All other wireless machines here can ping that router (by address). If I do ifdown ath0 and ifup eth0 (wired) then I immediately get back to normal wired networking. I also removed the version I had compiled and re-installed kmod-madwifi from livna - with exactly the same result. Will try more avenues (I even tried ndiswrapper from livna but as soon as I plugged in my card it hung the entire machine and I could not get out of X, nor regain a boot using alt-sysrq-b !) Mike
