Hm, interesting.
This should print all your NICs, right?
# cat /proc/net/dev | awk -F: '/eth.:|tr.:|wlan.:|ath.:|ra.:/{print $1}'
And this should bring your wireless devices, right?
# LANG=C LC_MESSAGES=C iwconfig eth1 2>/dev/null | awk '/802\.11|READY|ESSID/{print $1}'

And the connection works as soon as you deactivate WPA?

JFYI: http://grml.org/faq/#wpa
I'm not really sure whether this applies to madwifi/orinoco drivers
as well, so take a closer look at the logs and try different
settings. (Or maybe someone else on the list uses a similar setup?)

And the configuration in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf is ok?

Just disable the following two lines in your ~/.vimrc:
hi normal ctermfg=white ctermbg=black guifg=white guibg=black
hi nontext ctermfg=blue ctermbg=black guifg=blue guibg=black
I'll deactivate the two lines also for the next develrelease, if no
one complains then it will be shipped with grml 0.6. ;)

Just add the following lines to your ~/.xinitrc:
export LANG="de_AT at euro"
export LC_ALL="de_AT at euro"
setxkbmap de
That's all.
