My wireless network uses WPA. The adapter is working with kernel up to 2.6.24. It is not working anymore with kernels 2.6.26 and 2.6.30 (these are the kernels I could test). >From what I can see, wpa_supplicant gets a series of errors from the driver when it tries to associate to the network. Provided that the OS is exactly the same, and the only variable is which kernel is booted, I think it's something related to the driver (kernel 2.6.26 is where the MAC layer has been changed) or to the interface between it and wpa_supplicant. I'm just writing to ask if this is a know issue or if someone else is getting similar problems. Thank you very much for your work Bye Michele Alessandrini, Italy
