Thanks, but that unfortunately doesn't seem to help. :-(

I have taken dmesg "snapshots" of my system together with many other
information regarding how it is configured and I put it at my
homepage, at <http://www.ime.usp.br/debug/>.

>From what I am seeing, it looks like the bug mentioned in
<http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9388>, but I don't get the
stack trace that is present there and I'm just trying to use WEP
instead of WPA or anything fancier.

Thanks for all the help and please let me know if further information
can be helpful for debugging this situation.


Thanks again, Rogerio Brito
