Thanks for the hint. Would be nice to > have fixed, though :-) Odd, doesn't the driver need to do a scan _anyway_ to find the right BSSID to associate with if the cached scan results are more than a few seconds old? Can you run '/sbin/iwevent' before trying a fresh association, try to associate, ensure that it has failed, and report the output? If you don't get something like: 10:17:05.117937 eth1 Scan request completed shown there, then there's likely a bug in the driver because it's either (a) not scanning before trying to associate, or (b) not sending out scan completion events after it's done a scan.
