i digged a bit in to source of ipw2200:
.... line 91
/* here we have default module parametr set to seec all the time for new APs.
ewen we disable wlan on networkmanager */
static int associate = 1;
.... line 8530
/* here we geve new name practicly rename associate -> CFG_ASSOCIATE */
if (associate)
priv->config |= CFG_ASSOCIATE;
else
IPW_DEBUG_INFO("Auto associate disabled.\n");
..... line 7590
/* and here we chack: if associate=0 and no static ESSID choisen (essid =
any/off)
and no static channel choisen (chan = 0) and no static bssid (???), we will do
anything */
if (!(priv->config & CFG_ASSOCIATE) &&
!(priv->config & (CFG_STATIC_ESSID |
CFG_STATIC_CHANNEL | CFG_STATIC_BSSID))) {
IPW_DEBUG_ASSOC("Not attempting association (associate=0)\n");
return 0;
}
So this is not a bug in driver or kernel. Every thin was geven but not
realy good documented. So, if you say: try associate=0 you should say
and set "iwconfig eth1 essid off chan 0" . This is networkmanager
issue.
