Well, when I run ifconfig/iwconfig it slowly shows the first interface (lo), then it hangs for some seconds and then shows the eth0 and usb0. Running iwconfig eth0 I get an answer only after some seconds (sorry I've not used 'time' at all). The worst thing was that when I ran "iwlist eth0" I got no reply for minutes and then I had to use Ctrl+C; looking at dmesg I had some messages like "ar6000_ioctl_giwscan(): data length 0" (I don't remember it correctly). I'll try to check it again on next days... -- Treviño's World - Life and Linux http://www.3v1n0.net/
