I have made almost the same tests and still have the same problem, can not scan or connect. With a usb dongle (mod rt73) i was able to scan and use that interface as expected, so the trouble is with the atheros wifi device... This problem came up with an upgrade i made last week, that upgrade the kernel (plus other things) from 2.6.26-4? to 2.6.26-8.
