Hi,
When trying to connect to a wireless network with netcfg it always fails with 'Network Unavailable'. Everything used to work with network-manager under Gnome. Lsmod says the iwl3945 module is loaded and iwconfig says;
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"@Home94004"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=27 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
iwlist doesn't give any scan results but the XP laptop 10cm away can find the network. Network-manager also used to find the network.
this is my profile;
CONNECTION="wireless"
INTERFACE=wlan0
SCAN="yes"
SECURITY="wpa"
ESSID="@Home94004"
KEY="*********"
IP="dhcp"
TIMEOUT=30
I'd appreciate some pointers on what to check next.
Thanks.

Is this a new problem? If so, look through these threads:

Setting scan="no" and moving net-profiles at the end of the line under rc.conf's daemons array did the trick. Thanks!
