Sorry for my english.

With pclinuxos-phoenix-mini-2010.11.iso in my usbkey the wireless card atheros 5100+ is recognized as ath0 and dont work, but with
pclinuxos-phoenix-xfce-2010.10.iso this wireless card is recognized as wlan0 and work ok.

I think it is a problem of the last pclinuxos-phoenix-mini-2010.11.iso
pclinuxos64-test04.iso :(       Chakra64 2012.2 :)

That is because Sproggy included the legacy madwifi drivers that do not work for newer atheros wifi cards. Open the Synaptic Package Manager and search for madwifi. Remove the following 2 packages:

dkms-madwifi
madwifi


Open the Configure your computer -> Network & Internet -> Remove Connection and delete the wireless connection. Reboot your computer then go back into the Configure your computer -> Network & Internet -> Setup New Network Interface.

Hope this will fix your wireless issue.

Thanks to everyone who donates. You keep the servers running.
