I can confirm exactly this behaviour with a Al PowerBook G4. Works fine only if you set the key *after* associating. If you set the key first you get the following errors in dmesg: SoftMAC: Authentication response received from 00:90:4b:40:68:6a but no queue item exists. ieee80211: eth2: Unknown management packet: 0 but this happens some time after the initial "ifconfig eth2 up" cheers, Phil -- http://www.kantaka.co.uk/ .oOo. public key: http://www.kantaka.co.uk/gpg.txt _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
