Your interface name and kernel version suggest that you were using madwifi, can you still reproduce this issue using ath5k in recent kernels (at least 2.6.32/ squeeze)? Roaming works reliable using ath5k/ kernel 3.0 (but I have been using it with 2.6.32 as well) on: ath5k phy0: Atheros AR2425 chip found (MAC: 0xe2, PHY: 0x70) > two process have been created: > > user@host:# ps aux | grep wpa > root 12476 0.0 0.1 4856 856 ?
