Network device issue

    I'm having problems with my wireless card, it can't seem to recognise the network. I think I may have broken the driver :o
    I had it running fine using the madwifi driver and I then decided to install nVidias driver for the graphics card and the nForce2 chipset.
    The graphics went beautifully and I thought the nforce did too but I could be wrong. I selected to install both the audio driver and the network driver for the built in ethernet. After it had finished the audio driver I thought it was done completely and I set about editing the network driver in modprobe.conf (didn't alter anything to do with ath0). Once I realised it wasn't finished I restored the changes in the conf file and continued the install of the network driver.
    I thought this went fine but when I rebooted I got this error,

    Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06):
    SET failed on device ath0; invalid argument.

    It then tries to determine the IP using DHCP (does a ping to the router) and doesn't connect. The ping looses all packets.
    I edited the Network settings and set the SSID and ip manually to what they should be and still nothing.

    Any ideas what's up? Will a driver reinstall sort it out?

    I've sorted this one. There's three modes you can set. Auto, Manual and Ad-Hoc. Ad-Hoc isn't supported yet therefore auto isn't a valid option either. Setting it to Manual fixed the issue and I'm happy again :)
