I tried everything said in that thread, but I can't get it to work. I think it has to do with the fact that I have an A7v8x mobo with a built in NIC, so the eth0 gets loaded first, but I can't get ifconfig eth0 down to work because it says no such device. I read somewhere that turning off eth0 will make wlan0 work, but I just can't get it to work! And I do have kernel 2.4.2, so it's below 2.4.21. Any suggestions?
