    Hi Jim,

    Thanks for following up on this.

    > Can you now get connected?

    No. After the failure to load the firmware, the eth1 interface is
    not installed or is removed. If I do an "ifconfig -a" eth1 is not
    shown.

    lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
    eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
    sit0 Interface doesn't support scanning.

    As you can see, no eth1.

    If I boot with the wireless switch off, also the following line is
    printed:

    eth1 No scan results

    Still stuck. I think that there is something wrong with the firmware.
    Since I was able to load it in the past, it is either the new kernel
    or a new version of the firmware. If I could load the firmware, I
    could try the other things you suggest.

    Thanks again,
    Sergio
