I have both a Prism2 PCMCIA card and an Atheros card that I can use
with my newly upgraded SL4.4 laptop.  The Prism2 card uses the 
Orinoco/Hermes modules, and the Atheros card uses Madwifi, but neither
seems to cooperate with iwlist, so the access point scanner tools
don't work correctly.  I can connect by hand if I know the ESSID
and WEP key.

Anybody else using either of these cards?  Suggestions for scanner
apps, or ways to properly configure wireless-tools?  

Keith
