I enabled here CONFIG_MAC80211_VERBOSE_PS_DEBUG but didn't got anything useful.

The original sequence of commands: [1] /sbin/ip link set dev wlan0 down [2] /sbin/ip link set dev wlan0 up [3] /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 power on [4] /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 essid any [5] /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 power on [6] /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 essid <my AP> [7] /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 key open <my key> That show the issue on rtl8187b I have to test just is near on what Mandriva 2008.0 ifup-wireless script does, so that's what first made me catch the bug. the '... power on' after '... essid any' is what causes later the association or any scan attempt to fail, if I place a sleep between [4] and [5] I don't get the problem too. The problem is, I couldn't see yet how a power on after essid any could cause this. > > Hin-Tak > -- []'s Herton -- 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
