> With disable_hw_scan=1, probe requests have the same problem as the > association requests, namely they don't have CCK rates in the supported > rates: This is because mac80211 uses the order in which the rates are registered, and with iwlwifi that is "OFDM, CCK". See iwl_init_hw_rates() and iwl_init_geos(). I can't find any ordering requirement in the 802.11 documents but I suppose the lower rates should be in the supported rates (rather than the extended) element. I'll keep this in mind for the pending redesign of the rate/mode registration code; for now I suggest to change the registration order to be "CCK, OFDM" in the driver, since there are only four CCK rates this will work even with old APs that don't parse the "extended supported rates" element. All other drivers in wireless-2.6#everything behave that way, i.e. they register CCK rates first and then OFDM rates, thus they can never run into this problem; this explains why it works for Larry with b43. dragoran: reproducing with a new AP will be futile since it will parse the extended supported rates element even in backwards B compatible mode, to reproduce you need, as far as I understand this problem, an AP that doesn't understand that element yet. johannes
