Man... how many of these are there!?
A few days ago, i installed Arch. Hooked up to ethernet, i enabled Unstable and installed madwifi-ng (and deps, of course). I modprobe ath_pci, and ath0 appeared in ifconfig and iwconfig.
I configured everything as normal with iwconfig, disconnected eth0, and tried to fetch a dhcp address. For then, everything worked great.
The next day, i reboot (unplugged from eth0), and the wireless is being weird. I can configure it, obtain an IP, ping the router, but i can't get online. I hooked back up to eth0, and with a bit of fiddling, could get the wireless working in the regular manner.
Assuming it was a madwifi problem, i went to AUR and got the stable branch of madwifi, as i'd never used NG before, and it might be different. I downloaded the package (btw, i think the package isn't put together correctly. It required alot of fiddling), makepkg, and installed the result with pacman -A.
I rebooted, and i couldn't get an dhcp IP. I looked back over my bash history, and noticed that i had forgotten to get rid of madwifi-ng before installing stable. I uninstalled NG, but not the dependencies, and rebooted again. Same problem.
Advice would be appreciated

i uninstalled both, resinstalled ng (from unstable), rebooted, and did the following:
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig ath0 up
iwconfig ath0 essid RoadRunner
iwconfig ath0 key fffffffdff
dhcpcd ath0
everything is working fine... i think it got messed up with having both.
