Hi,
I've just upgraded kernel to 2.6.29.1-3 and since then I can't connect
to my wireless network. netcfg times out and says "Wireless association
failed". The driver is iwl3945, here is the profile's content:
CONNECTION="wireless"
INTERFACE=wlan0
SCAN="no"
SECURITY="wpa"
ESSID="foo"
KEY="foobar"
IP="dhcp"
TIMEOUT=20
QUIRKS=(preessid wpaessid)
If I correctly understand how it all works, wpa_supplicant is run and
then "wpa_cli status" is saying "wpa_state=SCANNING" for the whole 20
seconds until netcfg gives up.
Does anybody have similar problems or knows a solution?
I've got the same issue and have been looking for the reason. AFAIK, the
earliest report is from Pierre Schmitz in "[arch-general] [signoff]
kernel-2.6.29.1-3" thread:

I am not sure what driver Pierre is using (ipw2200?), I am using an
Atheros AR5008 (ath9k) and here's an example of rt2570:
