You see the networks, just > joining them is not working, correct? Yes, although later I found that joining does actually work, but takes an unusually long time. I later observed that I can even get an IP address. However, there is 100% packet loss. Accidentally, I stumbled on the fact that if I turn power saving off, then it starts working reasonably well. I am not sure what this observation suggests though. > Some ideas how to continue debugging the issue for now: > > 1) Enable debugging and share the all logs starting from driver load up > and including one connection request. > Looks like you must edit drivers/net/wireless/ti/wl1251/wl1251.h and > change line 39: > #define DEBUG_LEVEL (DEBUG_NONE) > to > #define DEBUG_LEVEL (DEBUG_ALL) > > 2) Keep debugging enabled but undo the change of the commit causing the > problem.
