Hi,

I've upgraded from hoary to breezy as well. Under hoary I was able to
authenticate and receive and IP address from my linksys WRT54G router, which was
using WPA2-PSK for authentication. After upgrading (did not change the
wpa_supplicant.conf file) I could not connect through my wifi NIC. Further
investigation revealed that the wpa supplicant was working fine. using wpa_cli
and sniffing the communications between my computer and the router revealed that
both devices were handshaking and eventually authenticated the computer.
However, negotiating a DHCP request was a garbled mess. Therefore I suspected
that the madwifi driver was the culprit. I recompiled the madwifi driver
following the instructions at http://www.marlow.dk/site.php/tech/madwifi using
the latest madwifi cvs snapshot. After installing the madwifi module, I verified
that it installed correctly under /lib/modules (find /lib/mod* -type f -iname
'ath*.ko' and found that I had two copies (it seems I may have not included the
proper path for the module installation). After deleting both copies,
reinstalling the module and regenerating the module map (depmod -ae) I was able
to receive and IP from the router.

Hope this helps,
Cheers
