Hu Andrey, I'm using Netgear WG311TGE PCI cards, lspci says: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212/AR5213 Multiprotocol MAC/baseband processor (rev 01) There is only one bit to plug in an antenna, so I've only had one plugged in, there isnt a place to plug in a second. After the commit in question I get no beaconing, before I get beaconing, but the PLINK state keeps flipping between OPEN_SNT and LISTEN, implying that for some reason it isnt receiving any PLINK packets. That said, I havent tried directly after the PCU commit, so I will try that now... but as I dont have an aux connector surely it shouldnt effect me?
