Okay, under 3.2 I had this card and from my memory, I used wlanconfig (all worked well) and then lwconfig and typed in ath0, the channel, and my ssid.  Now, that does not work, and when I typed "ath0" in the field, it just goes back to eth0.  I eventually just clicked prism2 and put the info in there.  It "went away" with no "connected!" pop up, but I do have a connection to the internet now.  Oddly, no network statistics show up in torsmo, or with any app that shows traffic (says I don't have a connection).  When I boot, my saved settings cause the system to hang with some errors.  But I do have a connection.

myiwconfig looks like this
#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/iwconfig.sh ath0 11 linksys  2>&1 >/dev/null

myprism2 looks like this
#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/prism2.sh ath0 11 ""  2>&1 >/dev/null

my bootlocal looks like this with the /opt/myiwconfig.sh commented out because this is the only way I get a connection.  If I comment out /opt/myprism2.sh, and leave /opt/myiwconfig.sh. I get no hanging, but no internet connection.

#!/bin/bash
# put other system startup command here
# /opt/myiwconfig.sh
/opt/myprism2.sh
/opt/sound.sh
loadkeys us

Seriously, what the heck?  The Linksys Atheros version 1.1 a/b/g card is supposed to work out of the box and not use prism2.

Not odd at all. Edit the lines below TEXT that count up/down eth0 to ath0.

Thanks... you helped me iron some things out with DSL today that have been issues for quite some time.  I even got rid of the prism2 issue (see this post) and got things working without the boot hang.  Odd though that it did not connect when i first configured it even though mylwconfig in /opt looked okay.  I just had to make the file execute, which I still think that when wlanconfig is activated, it should connect without doing this... as it used to under other DSL distros.
