I was using the latest: John Linville's git development release (2.6.17rc6).
I cloned it from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-dev.git
on 6/15/2006 21:00 EDT. As of today (6/23), there have been no changes.

Nothing. I start everything up by hand, hence the delay.

I use the following commands:
modprobe bcm43xx-d80211
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 ....
dmesg  # to make sure I'm associated with the access point, and see any debugging info.
dhcpcd wlan0
ping ....
login as non-root user and start x.

No commands were invoked during that period.


I'm currently using the rc5 version with no problems.
