Thanks for this info, Soren! Indeed that's very odd,
as I tested the same wifi card (I have two of them,
PCI versions) on another computer, doing a fresh
install of Edgy. Neither with the Life CD, nor the
installed version of Edgy could I get this Wifi card
to work at all. The restricted package was installed
and the kernel modules were loaded fine, I could even
see my router when using network-manager, but I could
not connect to it. By the way, on this computer was
previously installed Warty and there the Wifi card
worked fine.

I did the same test also on the other computer, where
I originally installed your madwif-ng packages, using
the Edgy Live CD (so your madwifi package cannot be
the culprit), but I could neither get a connection to
my router. After upgrading this machine from dapper to
edgy, it still did not work (I made sure to deinstall
your packages and reinstall the original packages
beforehand).

Thanks,
Beat
