Problem with madwifi

I've change recently my system form Gentoo to ArchLinux. I can't revert it because backups are few tousends km from me. I have problems with connecting to my campus WiFi(open; no WPA; no WEP) network:

- scanning ath0 sometimes discover 4 hotspots of this network and 2 others sometimes nothing
- dhcpcd just timeout. If I connect from computer's room by cable(now) it's ok.

What's wrong? I've tried standard connecting, wpa_supplicant and networkmanager.

I've probably left my head... somewhere. Please wait untill I find it.

Re: Problem with madwifi

Yes but it's rather temporary solution as far as I understend (I'll check it carefully - now I'm attached to cable and have to use it as long as possible ). After august weeks I'll have to manage suspend + 2 WiFi networks - in such case the only solution would be change distro(for example back to Gentoo).

Unfortunatly putting essid's in config is not a solution - I'd have to change it twice a day.

No - It is still unconnected (it is only formal connected). I can't connnect anywhere.
