Hello list, Just wanted to report another issue with BETA4 on my laptop. The wireless connection is "working" without encryption (interface goes up and down every few minutes, but at least I don't lose any connections, so it's barely noticeable). Today I was setting up WPA2 with wpa_supplicant and hostapd and managed to do so (status: associated), however it goes down a few seconds later with iwi0: device timeout and iwi0: firmware error, every single time. Is this a known problem ? At least on my machine, WPA + iwi is currently unusable, as I am not able to ping anything even in the brief moments the card is associated with the AP. Also, after about 1 day and a half up (without WEP or WPA), the interface died with "firmware error", I could only bring it back by unloading and loading if_iwi.ko .. 7.0-BETA4 i386. Best regards, Hugo

Make sure you get the section of output from when you kick off wpa_supplicant and when the firmware error happens. cheers, Andrew
