-256 dBm is when it doesn't report anything at all. > In my first mail in this thread, I've included the output from iwevent. > There is a line “Custom driver event:authenticated.” The wpa_supplicant > people said this is meaningless to them.

What does it mean? Yeah, your AP is not letting you authenticate. I don't remember what it means, check the 802.11 specs of some header file. If you get 'associated!' in the log file then at the same time in iwevent you should get a "new ap" event (or such). This is what wpa_supplicant actually uses. johannes
