With that I get: - two different kernel bugs, the first one actually appearing several times - after a short time no package goes out, but the addapter still believes to be associated. Here is the dmesg output of the two kernel bugs and the following hard reset. BTW, that happened at the *critical* access point at the university. At home I was before running hte same kernel without problem. BUt it might be a suspend/resume problem, too, as I suspended the computer and woke it up here.
