Hi, Right after booting when I try to join a network I get nothing: May 13 17:25:22 nysa kernel: iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: L1 Disabled; Enabling L0S May 13 17:25:22 nysa kernel: iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Radio type=0x2-0x1-0x0 May 13 17:25:22 nysa kernel: iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: L1 Disabled; Enabling L0S May 13 17:25:22 nysa kernel: iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Radio type=0x2-0x1-0x0 May 13 17:25:22 nysa kernel: IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready May 13 17:25:26 nysa kernel: wlan0: authenticate with e0:1d:3b:46:82:a0 May 13 17:25:26 nysa kernel: wlan0: send auth to e0:1d:3b:46:82:a0 (try 1/3) May 13 17:25:26 nysa kernel: wlan0: authenticated May 13 17:25:26 nysa kernel: wlan0: waiting for beacon from e0:1d:3b:46:82:a0 May 13 17:25:29 nysa kernel: wlan0: authenticate with e0:1d:3b:46:82:a0 May 13 17:25:29 nysa kernel: wlan0: send auth to e0:1d:3b:46:82:a0 (try 1/3) May 13 17:25:29 nysa kernel: wlan0: authenticated Over and over and over.

So I have to with with mode=1, then with mode=0, _every single time_. It's very annoying and I've tried everything; I tried with older kernels as far as 3.6.0, different versions of wpa_supplicant, different module options. It never works correctly. Right now I'm on v3.9.2, and the problem is still there. I believe if I restart the AP, it works, but I haven't tried many times. Also, I haven't tried other APs (I don't have one readily available). Any pointers?
