I turned up debug in the zd1211rw driver and can see what the problem is. Tomorrow I'll see if I can learn enough about the driver to fix it. The problem has nothing to do with setting an essid, that just happens to be a way to recover from it. modprobe the driver in. [ 1850.103620] zd1211rw 5

Is this a problem with Ubuntu not setting the essid when the interface first comes up? Or is it a problem with the driver not performing the first setting of the essid correctly? Other than this issue everything seems to be working for me. On 12/18/06, Henrik Hjelte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > O
