I have tested kernel 2.6.24-rc7-git4 with the build in rtl8187 module and I have the same problem. I can't ping the AP if the rate is set to auto or to something higher than 11M. I have to set it to something less than 11M to be able to ping the AP. iwconfig shows a successful connection in both cases. I am using Ubuntu 7.10 with vanilla kernel 2.6.24-rc7-git4 on AMD64 system with wpa_supplicant v0.5.8 -- Hauke - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
