[ltp] madwifi atheros range problem

[David]

Hi, I've a X31 with the mini PCI wlan card a/b/g.

Runs fine with the madwifi driver, but there's a little problem:

when I try
iwlist ath0 scan 
I get
ath0      No scan results

After restarting to Windows I get a neighbourhood ap.

After returning to linux iwlist also show me this ap.

How can I set the card under linux to scan better??



# iwconfig ath0
ath0      IEEE 802.11a  ESSID:"access"
