But it doesn't make things work. In fact, it might be making things worse. Because with that patch, the wireless still authenticates and associates, but then it doesn't even get an IP address, so now even dhcp doesn't work. Of course, I was surprised that it worked last time, and I'm not 100% sure it did work consistently. I'll re-test without the patch, just to make sure, but it doesn't really seem to improve on anything. Linus
