The standard source and binary repos do not have wifi-tools of the
needed version. I tried lots of things using apt-get; here is the
Synaptic synopsis:
madwifi-modules-2.6.29-1-multimedia-686:
Depends: madwifi-tools (>=1:0.9.4~rc2+dfsg-1) but 1:0.9.3+dfsg-3
is to be installed
What is the next step?
J.E.B.
Hi,
You can always install madwifi-tools from source.
You will need the kernel headers and various -dev packages to compile
though.
Cheers.

That is very interesting. I searched a lot, didn't come up with any
firmware. But I did come up with an anomaly in Synaptic. I have
madwifi-tools 1:0.9.3+dfsg-3 installed. My kernel is
2.6.29-1-multimedia-686. madwifi-modules-2.6.29-1-mul requires
madwifi-tools 1:0.9.3+dfsg-4. But madwifi-tools 1:0.9.3+dfsg-4 doesn't
exist in Synaptic. Anyone know what best I should do next?

Not sure if this is a red herring... I think this is the same behaviour
I got when I installed 3.0b3 (and 2.1 for that matter) before I
installed the driver firmware for my chipset (iwl3945 in my case). After
installing on the wire and restarting it was recognised correctly.

Hi,
Your ifconfig says it is a wlan0 device so it's quite strange that
gnome says it is a wired 802.1x wired network.
What messages do you get if you attempt to connect?
Cheers.

Below is a PNG; hope it makes it:

Greetings. I have just installed 3.0b3 into my old Toshiba laptop. All
is very well so far, except that the Atheros AR5212/AR5213 wifi is
detected as a wired, not wireless, interface, and so the wireless
network detection system isn't being engaged. What can I do to help?
Can you be more specific? I have no idea what "detected as a wired" means.
