The issue keeps happening and I've tried many things. First of all, when Linux is failing, my phone connects fine, other computers connect fine, and this machine with Windows 7 as well. I've tried reloading the driver, rebooting, different module parameters, nothing works. I logged a session [2] where I waited 30 minutes for the link to come up, but it never did. You can see the same thing happening over and over: 1382936199.582861: nl80211: Association request send successfully 1382936199.797063: nl80211: Event message available 1382936199.797097: nl80211: Delete station e0:1d:3b:46:82:a0 1382936199.797881: nl80211: Event message available 1382936199.797905: nl80211: MLME event 38; timeout with e0:1d:3b:46:82:a0 1382936199.797915: wlan0: Event ASSOC_TIMED_OUT (15) received 1382936199.797920: wlan0: SME: Association timed out 1382936199.797924: Added BSSID e0:1d:3b:46:82:a0 into blacklist If I reboot the router, it works immediately, another thing that works is connecting with ad-hoc mode (mode=1), and then back to normal mode (mode=0). Here's a log [3] where I tried reloading the module multiple times and finally tried ad-hoc mode, after which the link came up. Clearly the Linux kernel has a bug. Can somebody point out what needs to be done to get this fixed? Cheers.
