I got this card up and running with WEP, but with WPA no driver works. I
tried all of them. As far as I understand it should work with `hostap',
but I had no luck. I configured my AP (WGT624) and found only channel 6
to be supported with `Auto 108MBit' (Freq: 2.437 GHz). Is this possibly
causing the problem?

OPTIONS="-i ath0 -D madwifi -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"

should work, but doesn't.

BTW: I really like the way how grml works. Thank you for your efforts,
it really rocks!

I started grml-x wmii and this is really nice! The display is very
decent and fast. Only Vim uses a bold font as standard. Can this be
changed to a "normal" font? Where do I put `grml-lang at' for wmii?
