Yes, I saw that on IRC yesterday and did the reverse patch to come up with a 1.7 version that compiled, but it exhibits exactly the same behavior. And clearly there are people running the 1.8.0 driver who don't see this, which is what's so frustrating. I should note also that I'm trying to associate with an old 802.11b-only AP, but it works fine with non-RT2860 devices. -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u _______________________________________________ Debian-eeepc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-eeepc-devel
