Check that you're using the latest kernel and the latest firmware. I used to get this error with a particular cisco access point and it went away when I updated to 2.6.34 kernel series and also updated the firmware. Have a good look in here to find the latest suitable firmware for your NIC: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware -- Regards, Mick
