That's ath9k, not MadWifi.

And that's ath9k, since MadWifi doesn't support 802.11n.

Please either use MadWifi or write to the list for ath9k.  In any case,
please specify the kernel version.  If you have a problem with MadWifi,
please specify the version of MadWifi.

If you are using WEP with open system authentication, you can get
connected with a wrong key.  Please double check the key.

You may want to try WPA, as WEP is officially obsolete and insecure.
