I'm having major problems connecting to AP's with madwifi/voyage (2.6.14-
486-voyage #1)/CM9 card:
iwlist shows a quality of 25/94:
{{{
AW1:/var/log# iwlist ath0 scan
ath0 Scan completed :

yet iwconfig has a quality of 0/94:
{{{

I've tried just about everything, rebooting several times, etc. When the
aw4a ap moves its antenna, I can see the quality with iwlist degrade &
improve, so the quality reading does seem accurate. I've also tried
setting iwconfig ath0 sens 1 to get it off of 0/3, but that has no effect.
I can't connect to the ap. The AP on the other end is a Proxim 8571
