Or also with Fedora-provided kernels? If the latter, please be sure to open a bug at bugzilla.redhat.com and Cc: linville@xxxxxxxxxx when you do. > No probe response from AP 00:1b:da:2a:a1:53 after 500ms, disconnecting. > iwl3945 0000:10:00.0: Error sending REPLY_RXON: time out after 500ms. > iwl3945 0000:10:00.0: Error setting new configuration (-110). > iwl3945 0000:10:00.0: Error sending REPLY_RXON: time out after 500ms. > iwl3945 0000:10:00.0: Error setting new configuration (-110). <snip> This looks like the firmware died. Since this is iwl3945, you might try a patch like Reinette suggests here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=589777#c5 Does that enable the device to recover? John -- John W.
