Using that kernel I see the following features / bugs: - loading the firmware "freezes" the system for a few seconds - setting the link up of wlan0 "freezes" the system for a few seconds - connecting to 802.11b/g works (802.11a is untested) - roaming does *NOT* work -> just looses the AP, does not connect to other AP with same essid - connecting to a ap sometimes does not work, though essid is set -> sometimes it helps to specify "ap " -> sometimes setting down and up the link helps -> with earlier kernels one sometimes needed to rmmod and insmod the module again, so there is some progress :-) So far it is somehow usable, though the connection problems and missing roaming is a bit painful. Sincerly, Nico --=20 Think about Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). http://nico.schottelius.org/documentations/foss/the-term-foss/ PGP: BFE4 C736 ABE5 406F 8F42 F7CF B8BE F92A 9885 188C --aT9PWwzfKXlsBJM1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkkdk6QACgkQuL75KpiFGIxcHQCg4XQamZ4/xWXoQGyQwX9AzwJL VWUAoIn73kLbSqjNjR/6AyUHvzpE5/qD =HvEk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --aT9PWwzfKXlsBJM1--
