Please check iwconfig output.

I am using the latest oe.dev image and I encountered two problems:


udev and PATH inside scripts

Symptoms: WLAN card stays in master mode, no setup is done.

Fix: Adding "export PATH" to the beginning of the udev networking script
(see my mail to -devel few days ago, already fixed in oe.dev).


random problems

Symptoms: WLAN card switches to client mode, but not accociates or not
gets IP address.

Work-around: Soft-eject and insert card again using /sys filesystem
entry. Next time it succeeds.

I don't know the fix. I suspect races in the networking scripts.
