yes. Many locking issues in d80211 to still sort out. Basically, there
are next to no useful locks in it and most data structures are not
protected at all.
Doh ! Scary... locking is hard ... if the stuff was written without
locking in mind in the first place, it might end up being a

Yeah, I've actually suggested rewriting it from its own pieces :) But

prism54 fullmac, right?
Yes.
Try using -Dwext; the prism54 wpa_supplicant driver is a dead-end and I
added WE-19 commands to it a bit ago anyway. Oddly enough, I couldn't
seem to get the driver to work reliably for me using straight WEP
either, let alone WPA. It's pretty unmaintained at

I don't think it's possible to happen for 2.6.19.
Ealiest 2.6.20 but likely one or two releases later (me thinks).
Which means

If there is some bug for you in current mainline, it needs to
be fixed. But I can't fix something I am not able to reproduce and
don't know what happens.
Take a look at the logs in Ben's original mail. I've seen this a lot

This is also a 4318, so the link is pretty weak due to the Tx Power

So basically, I lose the

wpa_supplicant triggers races in softmac relatively easily, which are
hard to fix
