Re: Re: Pb with v 0.11 drivers + MA101 rev.B + Knoppix

	No problem, the mailing list is for questions after all.  The card will not be configured at bootime without some more fiddling.  I'm going to try again when I get on my notebook in a bit and see if the method given to me works.  If it does then we shall talk about enabling at bootup ;)  In the meantime it is perfectly normal to have to issue an ifup wlan0 when you log in.
	Your primary problem seems to be involving the wlanctl-ng stuff.  I am not sure where it stores the preferences.  As long as you have no devices using that driver I'd suggest removing the package with this command:
	apt-get remove --purge linux-wlan-ng
