I don't see why the firmware should report negative length, however. May also be a simple integer underflow for whatever reason. In any case, I think the firmware probably died and responds with crap. Which would also explain the suspend failures. > b43-phy0 ERROR: MAC suspend failed > b43-phy0 ERROR: MAC suspend failed Are there any LP specific hostflags that need to be set in AP mode? -- Greetings Michael.
