me too, but after open 3 shell and use

/etc/init.d/networking start

dhclient wlan0

wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

(a lot of time, so i don't know the exact sequence)

where my wpa_supplicant.conf is :
network={
ssid=" "
#psk=" "
psk=
}

for psk i used wpa_passphrase

now NetworkManager is not running but Mozilla surf the net :-D

Wine is nice because mdcrack is a windows application that works better than john the ripper is some instances.

What model do you have, I have a 904ha and even with the networking command at the beginning it doesn't recognize my wireless. The ar5007eg I believe.

I'm in the same boat. Have ran the suggested commands but with no success. When I run

Code:

---

wlanconfig list ap

---

it shows my APs, and when I try to connect via console it adds the essid under iwconfig, but never really connects.

My card is the WPN311. PCI card, Atheros chipset.

Perhaps, I just don't get where the change happened between BT2/3 and now. As far as I know Atheros based PCI cards are pretty universal in terms of support, injection, etc....
