I'm getting random "unknown authentication state 1" and "device timeout" messages with the built-in card on my T40.
The good news is that my ath cardbus card works great in 802.11b mode but it doesn't have an external antenna, when the iwi is working it works much, much better than the ath. ath0 at cardbus0 dev 0 function 0 "NETGEAR WAB501 802.11a/b Wireless Adapter, 0000000000000000000000000000000000": irq 11 ath0: AR5211 4.2 phy 3.0 rf5111 1.7, FCC1A, address 00:09:5b:40:7d:3c [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ethant# ifconfig ath0 ath0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr 00:09:5b:40:7d:3c groups: wlan egress media: IEEE802.11 autoselect mode 11b (DS11 mode 11b) status: active ieee80211: nwid homeap chan 1 bssid 00:0b:6b:57:31:d4 34% nwkey <not displayed> inet 192.168.1.14 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 I don't know if patches since Dec 25 would address my iwi problems.
