 Need help getting my Atheros wireless card to work with madwifi on my
 Computer running on Debian 1.2.6.18-5-486
 The wireless gateway is currently working with other wireless laptops  -
 so I know the gw is operative.
 I have used the Atheros cards on other computers - so the wireless cards
 work.

 Problem is      No DHCPDISCOVER offers.[[BR]]
 AND               iwconfig shows Link Quality:0  Signal level:0 Noise
 level:0   ??[[BR]]
 wifi0 seems to be transmitting but not receiving....

 Any ideas would be appreciated.
