Once the link goes up - no more problems. But getting the first
connection takes time.
I can testify that I have the same issue with w2k. 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.
The linux driver (with the siwessid/siwencode patch) is better than that
now.
It may connect at first try, always at the second or third try. 3 tries only
takes a few seconds. So it is possible to get this right. Hopefully it
can be fixed
further, to always work at first try.
