Servus, Last successfully built and used kernel was 2.6.26-rc8, about the start of 29.Jun UTC or so. Present build of GIT 2.6.26 during the merge window, updated just before 06h UTC, today, 25.Jul. With today's kernel, I am not even able to associate with a WLAN less than two metres away from my ZD1211rw type USB adapter, to say nothing of more distant WLANs with which I could authenticate with the earlier code without problems -- I don't even come near the associate stage. The networks all show up as expected in `iwlist wlan1 scan' with decent strengths; while all I get from dmesg is [ 1016.829827] wlan1: authenticate with AP 00:1X:YZ:AB:23:45 [ 1017.032769] wlan1: authenticate with AP 00:1X:YZ:AB:23:45 [ 1017.234213] wlan1: authenticate with AP 00:1X:YZ:AB:23:45 [ 1017.435402] wlan1: authentication with AP 00:1X:YZ:AB:23:45 timed out If I've hosed myself with a new .config option, I'll be kicking meself where it hurts most. Else, back to -rc8 to both send this message and to regain 'net access to do other needed so- called `work', so sorry I haven't narrowed this down further... And I'll feel me a fool if the failure is because I went from a different (BSD) OS into 2.6.26-merge, while going from that into -rc8 I promptly associate as desired.
I too have a problem with wireless in the current 2.6.26-gitX kernels. If you have done the git pull, you can try bisecting to find the problem. Use 'git bisect good v2.6.26' to mark a known good point. If you don't wish to take the time bisecting, then issue a 'git checkout v2.6.26'. That should give you a kernel that works.
