I cannot longer conncect to the AP using madwifi, since I updated to
r2360. (The last version I checked is the r2367). Accompanying symptom: "iwlist ath0 scan" lists only half of the stations I normally see (but it lists (sometimes) the station I want to connect to.)
I run Debian testing on a thinkpad R40. I try to connect with wireless-tools (28-1) and wpasupplicant (0.6.0~cvs20070224-3) to a WPAII-encrypted AP. My wireless card is Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01).
The syslog after loading driver (r2367) (I removed date and time)

The syslog for r2357 is the same except that the version numbers are changed and
the first line, which is:
