I probably should work more to did these bugs out myself, but anyway I
want to let you know what I currently see.
First system oopses just after NM starts up, happens always, and after
planting few test points bug happens somewhere in following lines.
net/mac80211/mlme.c:ieee80211_mgd_assoc:

As a first aid I noticed that if I kill wpa_supplicant (I have modified
dbus settings not to start it automatically)
And start it manually (wpa_supplicant -u) NM will talk to it and
connect.
Then many more surprises:
maxim@maxim-laptop:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=15 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
pan0 no wireless extensions.
NM doesn't even show that it is connected.
I use nl80211 in wpa_supplicant btw.
On top of that wireless disconnects and reconnects every few minutes
with that in dmesg:
[ 4252.387686] wlan0: associate with AP 00:1b:9e:d8:77:02 (try 1)

[ 4270.667542] wlan0: authenticated
And this despite me sitting next to my AP.
I have iwl3945, latest wireless testing (pulled a hour ago)
I didn't update anything in more that two months, now I have updated the kernel and wpa_supplicant
(I did wpa_supplicant update first, and it seems not to affect anything, and besides older kernel works just fine)
Best regards,
Maxim Levitsky
