Yes, thats what I want to use...

... and yes this is how I *had* to use it before I switched from
sarge/wlan-ng-ustream to etch/wlan-ng-etch.

Hmm I'm not sure if i understand correctly, I've set up
/etc/network/interfaces like I'd to it with "normal" (wlan) interfaces
which are supported directly by wireless-tools. (BTW: Thanks very much
for trying to make wlan-ng wireless-tools compatible!) But somehow the
"translation" between the ifup-commands and the wlan-ng-commands behind
seems to fail.

Please note that I'm using an USB-Wlan-Adapter -- I know (and see ^^)
this is currently not very well integrated, but since it worked with a
previous (non-debian) version of wlan-ng, I hope we can fix it together.

Please let me know if I can provide you with more detailed information.
