Hi, Victor Porton reported that the SoftMAC layer had random problem when setting the ESSID : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8686 After investigation, it turned out to be worse, the SoftMAC layer is left in an inconsistent state. The fix is pretty trivial. John : would you mind pushing that to 2.6.23 ? Thanks...
