You are right. I retested just with the queue wake patch, and it does seem to reconnect as well. I am not sure why it didn't work before - I probably applied it to the first version that broke (after bisecting) instead of wireless-testing, or I simply didn't wait enough time. Sorry about that - bisecting, compiling, rebooting etc. can get really confusing at times (especially late at night...).

I am not having any issues with this router while running 2.6.29 on this machine, or 2.6.32 on another machine (using rt2x500pci). The router is Netgear WGR614V9, and the firmware is V1.2.24_37.0.35. Also note that this "reason 3" only occures after the first association - after that it just continues with the "no probe response" I got used to. --yuval _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
