Pavel, thank you for your note:)Please let me know which kernel you recommend I try, and I will happily download and try it.
FYI while I have left the SSID unchanged (WHY do people munge that???) I did munge the keys, so you can safely ignore that.
ON the other hand should you ever be anywhere near my house in Tucson Arizona USA, please do let me know, and I'll happily provide you the real credentials for authenticating on the network.
*cheers* EhudPS Ok, I thought bcm43xx vs bcm43xx_mac80211 was "soft" because it used softmac and bcm43xx_mac80211 used the old devicescape-stack which is alternately the "non-soft" (or hard) stack. If there's a better terminology, I look forward to being educated.
In reference, I used 2.6.22-rc3 (linville git tree) 2.6.22-rc6 (linville git tree) and not included but previously tested 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 Fedora kernel. All built from source and ready for changes if need be.

As far as I know, the changes are not in 2.6.22-rc6 yet, or you would have seen a backtrace.I've been alternately switching between bcm43xx and bcm43xx_mac80211, henceforth soft and hard respectively.There is nothing specifically "hard" in mac80211. You may need to use another convention.About the only thing I've found "strange" that I hope someone else can confirm, is that running a tcpdump simultaneously with the DHCP client causes more success than failure.I understand you mean tcpdump on the same machine as the driver. I think I may have seen it. Perhaps the promiscuous mode would speed up recalibration, or something like that. Anyway, the current git version of bcm43xx_mac80211 is working much better and should not need such tricks.If I had to do a matrix it would look like this: rc6 hard - works but stuck at 1Mbps rc6 soft - works rc6 hard - unable to communicate, but associates fine rc6 soft - worksYou may want to use another convention for kernel versions as well. They look too similar to me.Encryption key:896A-0055-AE77-5E80-ED86-4E38-3AI hope you understand you cannot reuse this key after having exposed it in a public forum. On the other hand, WEP is considered generally unsafe these days, so it's more an polite request to leave your network alone than actual security.
