I'm under Debian Squeeze. I'm struggling with my wifi for 6 months now. None of two cards work with Win2k lap (rt73 usb and rt2500 pcimcia). I've been trying all the apps without succes, but I've tried lot of stuff, so:
There is something called rutilt. It is good for rt cards.. Don't install the wicd package unless you really have to - in 90% it won't work better than the NetworkManager does and you'll end with shit in setup files. My way for now is to have the script that: disables ALL the network tools (dhclient, NetworkManager, wpa-supplicant, some applets and some other things - I've made some chcecks with airomon-ng from aircrack-ng package, it shows the things utilising wifi) ifconfig down iwconfig everything ifconfig up dhcpcd wifi I connect to one single net only, so I have one script. I have to run it several times to connect, but it does the job. I'm able to crack wifis, inject packets, do a lot of stuff... but I have serious problems to have stable connection with my own stuff. What a pain in the ass.
