Just booted off a freshly downloaded BT R1 iso, and the problem persists.

At this point I am considering getting a USB wifi card. Then I can add an external antenna.

I was hoping to avoid that option, but I'll give it a shot.

Won't really learn anything if it helps. But it's better than not having it work at all.

I noticed this after upgrading to kernel 2.6.34 and after a dist-upgrade. When I launch Kismet or airodump and get a list of ESSIDs, they duplicate and insert random special characters into the name....
