Comment (by anonymous):
I had a similar problem: The error message "unable to load wlan_scan_sta"
would show when trying "iwconfig ath1 essid Whatever mode Managed".
The device was certainly working (as kismet could easily find a dozen
or so networks) but couldn't associate with any of them and
"wlanconfig ath1 list scan" 's output was empty.
It turned out that the rt73 driver (installed previously for a Ralink
USB wifi antenna) had written "wlan* rt73" in /etc/modprobe.d/ralink,
and that particular line was causing the problem.
After commenting out the above line, and unloading/reloading the
ath_pci module, the problem disappeared, everything worked as expected
and the computer was successfully connected to the internet after a
few seconds.
Hope this helps someone out there.
