It may be useful to check if the AP is sending that packet. If it does, I would check the rate and the channel and compare them to the packets the driver can receive. I would also check the driver with another AP. If it's indeed on the receiving side of the driver, a crosscheck against the softmac driver could be helpful. Good luck fixing it, but if it still doesn't work, I'd like to see your patch posted anyway. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
