You ask a very valid and good question, you are correct, we at Intel have a very good lab and great testing infrastructure. But at the same time, there are so many APs available on the market and each one could behave differently, also just like station, AP's software continue change and improve, and at the same time, bugs can be introduced. We try to do our best, but we can not cover everything and we truly hope the community can help us flush the corner cases and bugs we miss. Yes, if you can let us know your configuration and the AP information, it will be very helpful. But please do help us continue test our latest driver, so we can improve our driver quality and better serve the community.
