We have not done this testing after the 2.6.31-rc3-wl merge (yesterday) though. I just did a quick test on my 3945 using iwconfig to associate and it was able to do so on A and G bands. Looks like I need to do some wpa_supplicant testing. > > Here's an example what's happening with wpa_supplicant from debian > unstable: > > $ sudo ifup wlan0 > > [ 104.468073] iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: firmware: requesting iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode > [ 104.533234] iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: loaded firmware version 15.32.2.9 > [ 104.612049] phy0: device now idle > [ 104.613091] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready > [ 106.968392] phy0: device no longer idle - scanning > [ 109.561397] phy0: device now idle > [ 109.563737] wlan0: deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3) > [ 109.563743] phy0: device no longer idle - in use > > [waited a while] > > $ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan > wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Device or resource busy > > $ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan > wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Device or resource busy > > $ sudo wpa_action wlan0 stop > > [ 191.649653] wlan0: deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3) > [ 191.697619] phy0: device now idle > > Also I have been able to reproduce the problem once with iw.

Are you saying that this problem occurs always with wpa_supplicant and sometimes with iw?
