Hi,
A b43 module (ibook, airport extreme), works, since the following code

Code:

ip link set dev wlan0 up
iw dev wlan0 connect -w SSID

creates a working connection (i.e. I am able to surf internet via the wireless).

But I can't cause this wlan0 to be managed by (preferable) Network manager (or wcid would be good too).

What am I missing? Those tools should have take control of the interface automatically, at least that what I observed on Debian...

Thanks,
Dima.

P.S.
Tools of the family 'iwconfig' don't detect any wireless extension, only the relatively new 'iw' knob works.
