For folks using the MadWIFI drivers, have any of you experienced problems pinging the wireless interface on your machine or making ssh connections to it. I used the madwifi CVS snapshots from August 20th and could not ssh in to my machine, nor could i ping it. i custom compiled a kernel and am running gentoo, so i'm sure that there was no firewall preventing either of those from occuring.
