I am seeing something very strange in this log and the logs you sent in your first message. It appears that your driver uses software scanning while hardware scanning is the default for this driver. This appears to be the cause of the ucode errors as the A band channels are configured as part of the scanning process. Now, how this happens is weird. I tried running 2.6.25-rc9 myself and was not able to reproduce the problem - hardware scanning was used. The driver is also explicit when HW scanning is disabled, this does not appear in your logs, it is also explicit about when it runs HW scanning, this also does not appear in your logs. So it does not seem as though you are disabling the default HW scanning, but yet it uses SW scanning. How it ends up using software scanning is not clear. In an effort to trace what could be happening I created a small patch (attached) that adds more debugging to the scanning code. Could you please run with this patch and send us the debug output? Thank you very much Reinette
