Subject: need help figuring out what makes my wireless"iwconfig" not respond

from 2.6.31-rc1 to present there was a couple of commits for
wireless. prior to that the wireless on my machine(imac)
was o.k.,
Now the wireless does work(streams music,t.v. etc..)
but when I look at iwconfig there's nothing no info.
(I use wicd as my connection manager, and in the bottom corner
of the screen the transmit power is down to almost nothing,
causing wicd to constantly reconnect)

out of a random guess what commit might have caused this, so I can at least
fix this over here(that is until the manufacturer comes out with a new
version). I can go in and individually revert all of the wireless, but 
before that
I want a quick lead.

any ideas?

regards,

Justin P. Mattock
