I'm not sure how intel wired up their drivers package, but I usually have to wait about 1-2 minutes to get _any_ package back from the AP (judging from the network icon). Once I get the first package back (I'd guess it's a dhcp resp), i can start using the network. I once picked up somehwere that this wa an issue with wither this intel chip of the broadcom chip I have in the Linksys AP. Either one of them was picky on the nitial handshake and the speed/rate used for that handshake. Waiting a while both ends agree to do it at 1Mbps or something and it all works from there. hth, /Anders -- 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
