Title:
  Atheros 242X e avahi aemon

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After a week trying to make my wireless card work on my Acer Aspirer 4520-5074 i finally made it work on Hardy Heron 64 bits using ndiswrapper and wixp 64 bits driver.
  I installed via apt the wicd and i could connect to my home network using WPA2 encryptation.

  Everything was working normally untill i turn off my computer. Asa i
  turn it on again i couldnt use my wireless again, when i execute
  ifconfig its shows a new interface wlan0:avahi with ip and my wlan0
  interface without ip and using ipv6 protocol. So i cant use it, if i
  try to sudo ip kink set wlan0:avahi down, it also downs my wlan0 and
  if i bring it up again, wlan0:avahi appears again.

  After read a lot of post about this issue, i disabled the avahi-daemon
  from Services menu and also changed AVAHI_DAEMON_SET_LOCAL to 0 under
  /etc/default/avahi-daemon. And it didnt work i still have this new
  interface wlan0:avahi showing when i execute ifconfig. Even showing
  this new interface, i can normally scan wireless networks but even if
  i set the ip manually, it doesnt work.
