Hi,
First, sorry for my English. I've got the driver working on a Compaq F754
with Ubuntu 8.04 32bits, and for I can see, you could the driver work.
Otherwise, you couldn't get that information with iwconfig ath0. The
problem must be in other thing. For some reason you didn't conect to the
wifi but you can detect it.
