Ok, that settles it then. Because this bug has been in mac80211 for ages we can wait for 2.6.31. But do you take Michael's patch[1] for disabling the "beacon loss" message for 2.6.30? I think we should have it in 2.6.30, otherwise we will get quite a lot of bug reports. Do you want me to resend it? [1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123892431619630&w=2 -- Kalle Valo
