Rolf, Thanks for trying out the driver.
>Nov 6 22:40:44 vega iwk: WARNING: iwk_config(): failed to set power mode >Nov 6 22:40:44 vega iwk: WARNING: iwk_init(): failed to configure device The above warnings are logged while the transmitter is off (not when it's switched on). I tried the wificonfig scan after switching transmitter switch off and on and so far it has worked for me every time. A couple of times it did take a few seconds to return. I will try some more to reproduce it.
