I run the 2.6.15-26-686 kernel on my MacBook, I note from "lsmod" that all the madwifi-ng modules are loaded at boot, I have configured the ath0 interface in System -> Administration -> Networking Properties tab, and the interface has an "auto ath0" line in /etc/network/interfaces. Yet, the interface does not come up automatically at boot.
The following manual intervention works *without fail* to bring ath0 up: 1. Open System -> Administration -> Networking, deactivate ath0, and then activate it again. Wait a while until it finally is activated, then quit the menu. Pinging some website shows that ath0 is in fact not up... 2. In a terminal: "sudo ifup ath0", now the connection is made, usually after the second DHCP offer. I have no explanation as to why this precise procedure works, doing only item 2. does noet work, not even when tried repeatedly. And doing only item 1. repeatedly doesn't work either...
