Can you post iwconfig output.

This is a Netgear card? Sometimes their Linux support is sort of lacking.

yep, this is Netgear card

after I put

WIRELESS_IWPRIV_OPTIONS='authmode 2'

to the wlan config file in /etc/sysconfig/network/

and ath_pci to:

MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT="capability raw1394 video1394 ath_pci"
in /etc/sysconfig/kernel

it seems to work now.

# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
