What follows is just user experience, I just hope there's something useful in it. So far I've been able to make a working connection and do a FTP transfer multiple times using WPA / DHCP. Sometimes I need to initially setup the connection, by stopping/starting wpa_supplicant/dhclient or even stop dhclient / wpa_supplicant / rmmod zd1211rw / modprobe zd1211rw / start wpa_supplicant / dhclient to work around association timeouts. Once there is a connection it seems stable, getting connected seems to be the problem. Unfortunately I haven't spotted any failures in the logs so far. Initially it seemed only possible to create a connection successfully by having only one network configuration enabled in wpa_supplicant.conf. Re-testing shows that even multiple enabled networks in wpa_supplicant.conf seem to work, though it worked only once so far. Multiple networks seem a cause for trouble. If I enable two networks, and the AP-s for both are up, I notice what looks like two authentication/association attempts going on at the same time. Multiple enabled networks seem to interfere with each other somehow, though not all the time. Maybe, whatever causes the disturbance, also causes connection problems with iwconfig connections. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
