    Issue with Atheros madwifi Proxim gold card with 3.9

    I have a dell laptop with Knoppix 3.9 installed. I bought a new Proxim gold card that uses Atheros (madwifi) drivers. It works ok on my network with my windows setup but I am having an issue with Knoppix 3.9. Knoppix ses the card and with IWCONFIG and KWIFIMANAGER I can see my network and even other networks in my area but I am not getting an IP address. I made sure that Encription and Mac address filtering were turned off and I still can not get IP. Again it works ok with my windows setup but not knoppix.

    My Knoppix setup does work with my linksys card but I really wanted to use the proxim because of the external antenna.

    Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?

    Try manually getting one via dhcp
    ifconfig ath0 up
    pump -i ath0

    There are too many dhcp commands to remember these days and it seems every distro uses a different one.
    for future reference, and if that one doesn't work for you (you being any person reading this thread) you might try these as well:
    dhclient
    dhcpcd
