Tried with both ("-D nl80211" and reduced conf file) but I get the same ;- ( *** Trying to associate with 00:26:44:df:60:91 (SSID='WLAN_6D' freq=2452 MHz) Authentication with 00:26:44:df:60:91 timed out. *** It cannot even associate with the AP, this cannot be normal. Okay, let's make a brute-force test. I've removed the power cord of the netbook and walked next to the AP, et voilà, now it associates fine... go figure :-o Now at least I know all of the settings are fine and driver works, just will have to dig a bit why on the earth it cannot associate with the AP that on the next room... (5 minutes later...) Grrr! If I unplug the power cord it also connects fine from the original place! WTF!! I'm afraid I have another thing that requires investigation. Well, thanks you both, Volkan and Brian, for hanging there. I will post further findings I'll discover to make the connection stable but at least now I have a place to start :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
