the other linux netbook with atheros wifi card can connect the hidden
network, after connected it looks like:

# iwconfig ath0
Warning: Driver for device ath0 has been compiled with version 22
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 20.
Some things may be broken...

ath0      IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"WLAN-Staff"  Nickname:""

          Bit Rate:54 Mb/s   Tx-Power:31 dBm   Sensitivity=1/3

          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

it has good link quality with "94/94", I've tried the same wpa
configuration on the linux with b43, it is always scanning, with no
results, and scanning; someone know how to make it work with this
hidden and auth-required wifi?

Thanks a lot,
