There have been significant changes in bcm43xx_mac80211 in its own git repository (http://bu3sch.de/git/wireless-dev.git), which improved things a lot. As far as I know, the changes are not in 2.6.22-rc6 yet, or you would have seen a backtrace. > I've been alternately switching between bcm43xx and bcm43xx_mac80211, > henceforth soft and hard respectively. There is nothing specifically "hard" in mac80211. You may need to use another convention. > About the only thing I've found "strange" that I hope someone else can > confirm, is that running a tcpdump simultaneously with the DHCP client > causes more success than failure. I understand you mean tcpdump on the same machine as the driver. I think I may have seen it. Perhaps the promiscuous mode would speed up recalibration, or something like that. Anyway, the current git version of bcm43xx_mac80211 is working much better and should not need such tricks. > If I had to do a matrix it would look like this: > rc6 hard - works but stuck at 1Mbps > rc6 soft - works > rc6 hard - unable to communicate, but associates fine > rc6 soft - works You may want to use another convention for kernel versions as well. They look too similar to me. > Encryption key:896A-0055-AE77-5E80-ED86-4E38-3A I hope you understand you cannot reuse this key after having exposed it in a public forum. On the other hand, WEP is considered generally unsafe these days, so it's more an polite request to leave your network alone than actual security. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
