if i do a "ifconfig eth1 down", iwconfig works again..
me and all my friends using an equal notebook with an equal wlan mini-pci card
(probably XG600) r encountering this problem.... wlan doesn't work on all our
notebooks :(
please help & thx! ;o)

if the network interface isn't active, i can change the settings in wlanconfig,
but, of course, nothing works (like scanning: no results)
i tested with the two latest firmwares and the firmware of my windows driver ;o)

Try the iwconfig commands/changes after ifconfig eth1 up'ing the device.

It should not make any difference.
...And justice for all
