These are problems that I have: 1. very frequent oopses.This appears to be mention on the list already, but patches I tried don't help. I currently use this bandaid patch, and I still get some crashes: diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945-base.c b/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945-base.c index 3e5bffb..1aef988 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945-base.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945-base.c @@ -1861,6 +1861,11 @@ static int iwl3945_get_channels_for_scan(struct iwl_priv *priv, if (!sband) return 0; + if(!priv->scan_request) { + WARN_ON(1); + return 0; + } + active_dwell = iwl_get_active_dwell_time(priv, band, n_probes); passive_dwell = iwl_get_passive_dwell_time(priv, band, vif); 2. mulicast/broadcast is broken. this results in DHCP non working on open access point. It seems that DHCP does work on my home wireless, but avahi-autoipd doesn't see any neighbours, and this is annoying. It can be worked around by doing (sudo ifconfig wlan0 promisc) Best regards, Maxim Levitsky
