Well, the patch didn't apply again. I get failed hunks at the same spots. I am using the patch you uploaded yesterday. Maybe I can pull in compat-wireless after the patch has been applied as you asked earlier. Right now, my connection lasted 30 minutes before disconnecting. I am also getting a lot of messages similar to the following in /var/log/message: Sep 18 06:39:17 Bordeaux NetworkManager: <info> (wlan1): supplicant connection state change: 3 -> 0 Sep 18 06:39:17 Bordeaux NetworkManager: <info> (wlan1): supplicant connection state change: 0 -> 2 Sep 18 06:39:18 Bordeaux NetworkManager: <info> (wlan1): supplicant connection state change: 2 -> 3 Sep 18 06:39:18 Bordeaux NetworkManager: <info> (wlan1): supplicant connection state change: 3 -> 4 Sep 18 06:39:18 Bordeaux NetworkManager: <info> (wlan1): supplicant connection state change: 4 -> 7 Thanks for all your help!
