You should also set the channel. The rumors are that you should set the channel first, then essid, then ap. I believe setting essid or ap triggers the association, and the channel should be known at that point. Also, if the interface goes down and up, you should set the channel again, even though it's reported to be correct. I think it's a bug in d80211. This work for me with 802.11b-only APs. The traffic can be passed immediately. My device (PCIe 4312) has trouble with 802.11g access points. it takes several minutes before any traffic can pass through. Strangely, wpa_supplicant associates immediately, but it still takes minutes before the data traffic starts passing. Your mileage may vary. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
