I've seen bcm43xx go crazy when I specify AP manually or make it re-associate. In one case, I observed the card sending packet using the old AP as the BSSID and the new AP and the destination address. "iwpriv ethX ap auto" makes the AP show as "Invalid" with no possibility to recover. My rule is to always unload bcm43xx before trying to associate to another AP and to never set AP manually. I realize that it's an issue with softmac, and that softmac in the kernel is not the latest. Perhaps it should be upgraded, but I'm not very good at convincing people, and I'm vary of starting another massive tread before I catch up with my e-mail queue. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
