What kind of access point are you trying to connect to? These devices

connections from 11b clients.

Hi Dan, thanks for your answer.
The test A/P is a USR-5451-maxG with ddwrt as OS. A/P is on mixed mode
(B+G), but after your mail I tried B-Only mode, which failed also.
While observing the connection process, I got the feeling that the
orinoco card (eth1) is unable to set an IP. I have tried static and
dhclient, with same effect. Shortly after the connection process
starts, the card status shows as connected, but does not finalize .
Process then terminates (assuming because no IP is agreed on with AP).
Please advise what other info/test I can try.
If you're able, can you use wireshark on another computer to capture the
802.11 frames exchanged between the orinico device and the AP?
Check whether you're using wext or cfg80211. IIRC, you have to use wext.
If that's not working, the relevant bits of wpa_supplicant log (-ddd)
would be helpful.
Dave.
