Hello all,
Coming here to try to get some help with my wifi alpha card. It just can't scan
/ connect. It can dump me data in monitor mode though.
Here are some outputs :

If I manually scan for APs, takes a while before telling me device is busy :

The card works fine on another ubuntu x64 computer.
I installed firmware-atheros version from wheezy-backports repo to end up
discovering the firmware was actually the same. Maybe I need a kernel update?
I also tried compiling the very latest firmware (1.4) without any differences.
Plugging into a self-powered usb hub neither.
Any suggestion greatly appreciated.
Steven
