Subject: iwl3945 cannot connect to zd1211rw AP

Hello,

Client is Intel 3945abg and AP is ZyDAS ZD1211B (3.2.5 Fedora PAE kernel, hostapd 0.7.3).
When client is WinXP or Linux 3.0.0, I get only:
hostapd: wlan0: STA 00:18:de... IEEE 802.11: did not acknowledge authentication response
messages in AP's syslog; when client is Linux kernel 3.1.6 - no messages in AP.

Other chipsets connect to this AP successfully, and this client can connect to another
wifi stick on the same AP (rt2800usb).

Is it a iwl3945 or zd1211rw problem? How can I debug it?

Regards,
Nerijus

Perhaps know zd1211 bug, we have one fix that I think can address that:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-testing.git;a=commitdiff;h=e81a7bd55531a77d8c16d44766db4089c2983f1b

We included that commit in the latest fedora kernel 3.2.6, check that out:
