Hi, In earlier 2.6.30 (rc1 and 2) kernel tests I suffered the "beacon loss, sending probe request" problem, during which my connection would intermittently fail and reconnect. With the latest git kernel which seems to include a patch (ad935687dbe7307f5abd9e3f610a965a287324a9) for at least some of this, my card (Intel 5300AGN REV=0x24) completely fails to associate and I get: Apr 27 01:32:36 linux-7vph kernel: Registered led device: iwl-phy0::radio Apr 27 01:32:36 linux-7vph kernel: Registered led device: iwl-phy0::assoc Apr 27 01:32:36 linux-7vph kernel: Registered led device: iwl-phy0::RX Apr 27 01:32:36 linux-7vph kernel: Registered led device: iwl-phy0::TX Apr 27 01:32:36 linux-7vph kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready Apr 27 01:32:40 linux-7vph sudo: niella : TTY=pts/2 ; PWD=/home/niella ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/tail -f /var/log/messages Apr 27 01:33:16 linux-7vph kernel: wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1d:92:1d:1e:8e try 1 Apr 27 01:33:16 linux-7vph kernel: wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1d:92:1d:1e:8e try 2 Apr 27 01:33:16 linux-7vph kernel: wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1d:92:1d:1e:8e try 3 Apr 27 01:33:16 linux-7vph kernel: wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1d:92:1d:1e:8e timed out Apr 27 01:33:29 linux-7vph kernel: wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1d:92:1d:1e:8e try 1 Apr 27 01:33:29 linux-7vph kernel: wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1d:92:1d:1e:8e try 1 Apr 27 01:33:29 linux-7vph kernel: wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1d:92:1d:1e:8e try 2 Apr 27 01:33:29 linux-7vph kernel: wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1d:92:1d:1e:8e try 3 Apr 27 01:33:29 linux-7vph kernel: wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1d:92:1d:1e:8e timed out Apr 27 01:33:42 linux-7vph kernel: wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1d:92:1d:1e:8e try 1 Apr 27 01:33:42 linux-7vph kernel: wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1d:92:1d:1e:8e try 1 Apr 27 01:33:42 linux-7vph kernel: wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1d:92:1d:1e:8e try 2 Apr 27 01:33:42 linux-7vph kernel: wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1d:92:1d:1e:8e try 3 Apr 27 01:33:43 linux-7vph kernel: wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1d:92:1d:1e:8e timed out I do not have any similar problems with 2.6.29 or 2.6.28 at the exact same physical location. I can try to bisect in a day or two if need be.
