I have the same problem using latest rawhide with an atheros based
802.11g card with the Madwifi drivers
(http://www.sf.net/projects/madwifi/).  I have even tried compiling my
own kernel and have had no luck.

The wireless card works fine on the same laptop using Gentoo (kernel
2.6.5), and works in Fedora Core 1.

I think I'll try recompiling the wireless tools myself and see if this
helps.
