In general, do not drop the mailing list from the distribution list. ALWAYS use
"reply-all". All of my debugging is made available on the list. If you do not
accept that restriction, then I will be unable to help you.

You can analyze the .pcap file produced by kismet with wireshark. Look for probe
requests from your BCM4303 and the response from the AP. If you cannot analyze
the data, it is OK to send the pcap file to me privately. I will limit the
traffic to just your ESSID and post it on the list if I cannot figure out what
is wrong.
