You mean that you couldn't reproduce the bug, ie. with the steps I gave you still could connect and scan for wireless networks? I ask because the failure is the actual bug, for example if you place let's say a sleep for 5 seconds between '... essid any' and '... power on' it doesn't fail. The bug is that with that sequence, any attemps to associate or scan fail, where it shouldn't, at least it's what is expected. > > Larry -- []'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
