Hi Jim,
Thanks for following up on this.
> Can you now get connected?
No. After the failure to load the firmware, the eth1 interface is
not installed or is removed. If I do an "ifconfig -a" eth1 is not
shown.

lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
sit0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
As you can see, no eth1.
If I boot with the wireless switch off, also the following line is
printed:
eth1 No scan results

Still stuck. I think that there is something wrong with the firmware.
Since I was able to load it in the past, it is either the new kernel
or a new version of the firmware. If I could load the firmware, I
could try the other things you suggest.
Thanks again,
Sergio
