And we should find | out why that is, and hopefully fix the regression if any. But | understand that airo has always been problematic and has never worked as | well as other fullmac cards like orinoco. | | I booted up RHEL5 today, which uses a 2.6.18 kernel and of course does | not have the patch-in-question. That behavior is: | | 1) stop NetworkManager and wpa_supplicant | 2) insert airo card | 3) iwlist scan returns many results | 4) connect to WEP-enabled AP | 5) iwlist scan returns *only* the connected ap | 6) iwconfig eth1 essid any key off | 7) iwlist scan returns no results | | remember, that's without any of the patches we're talking about, using a | kernel from 2007. Which is about the same behavior you get, correct? I don't get quite this behavior, although I'm not doing exactly these steps; instead, I do: - boot machine - use 'iwlist scan' and see multiple APs - use NetworkManager to connect to our WEP-enabled AP - 'iwlist scan' returns only the single AP - turn things off with: iwconfig eth1 essid ANY key off - 'iwconfig eth1' and NetworkManager both show no connected AP - 'iwlist scan' returns only the ex-connected AP (I do not know the right commands to connect to our WEP-enabled AP and verify that everything is working right without using NetworkManager, so I used it for the connection phase.) - cks
