That's weird. I suppose it works fine under OS X and/or Windows, otherwise you'd suspect a hardware problem. That makes me think your version of madwifi and/or your kernel version are not playing nice either in isolation or together. Did you do something like the following when installing madwifi? Add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list # Testing deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free After adding the sources above to sources.list do apt-get update Then, apt-get install madwifi-source madwifi-tools module-assistant Finally, m-a prepare m-a a-i madwifi depmod -a modprobe ath_pci See http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/Distro/Debian/MadWifi for more details. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
