A working WPA with IBM R50p 1832 and Dapper?

[Christian Brodbeck]

If I type iwconfig this is what i get:
cb at ubuntu:~$ iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

irda0     no wireless extensions.

ath0      IEEE 802.11  ESSID:""

          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

I get this too when I configure the wpa_supplicant.conf or the
interfaces file. I've already tried several tutorials in the wiki's. But
it  worked with 5.10 (not good but it did)

In the device manager my wificard is recognized as:
AR5212 802.11abg NIC
Atheros Communications, Inc.

Maybe these infos helped.
