I am attaching the resulting trace file, > should you need additional information, kindly ask. thanks! I did the same thing on my setup and diff'ed the resulting trace file with yours. I spotted a difference but it should not be relevant: (your trace): drv_prepare_multicast: phy0 prepare mc (5) (my trace): drv_prepare_multicast: phy0 prepare mc (1) I am wondering if the problem could be explained by a RF kill switch being active. Can you send me the output of 'rfkill list' and 'lsmod' ? Are there wireless-related LEDs on your machine and do they act differently between kernel 3.0.1 and 2.6.39-2 ? Can you do a 'rfkill unblock all' to see if that makes a difference ? Can you read this thread for more ideas: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1604665.html ? Let me know how this works out, if unsuccessful we'll have to dig a bit deeper. Thanks, Roland.
