    I am currently using SVN r3402 and it is working. My device is ath0. Could you ensure the module ath_pci is loaded and iwconfig shows you both wifi0 and ath0?

    Re: Hardy Heron Macbook Pro Wireless Issue

    when i ran iwconfig it showed that ath0 was my wireless card and wifi0 had no extensions so i guess i was wrong...but i still cant get it to connect to a network it still keeps trying to connect and then asks me for the network password again...is there a way i can uninstall my current madwifi 3403 and try 3402?? and also i dont know how to ensure the module ath_pci is loaded, how can i do that?maybe there is a way i can get my comp to manually connect
