Has anyone else had problems with getting their wireless to work in
Debian (Etch)?  I have an Atheros card and have been trying to get it
to work with the Madwifi drivers.  


I've attempted using the following guide to help me: 

http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo


However, I have always had to stop when I get to the point: 

"Now, if you type iwconfig, you should see a list like the following:"


Because, neither the wifi0, nor the ath0 lines show up, for me.  


Could any of this possibly have anything to do with the fact that when
I originally installed Debian, that I chose not to configure
networking until later?  

I never did figure out how to install that later.  For internet
access, I simply use the ADSL/PPPOE configuration program.  I've had
no need, as of yet, to network more than one computer together. 
However, I'd really like to disconnect this ethernet cable from this
computer so I can start using my wireless router.  


Any suggestions?  Thanks.
