Hi,

I think I recently saw some discussion about mac80211 having a bug when the interface was brought down and back up again which would leave mac80211 & driver in a state from which it could no longer be able to associate again.

I can't find the particular email again, but was this issue indeed a bug with mac80211? And if so, is that bug present in 2.6.25 or only in wireless-testing?

Thanks,

Ivo

The only thing I can remember is that it didn't used to automatically re-associate which should be in now.

Ah ok. Thanks for the clarification.
Hopefully that solves one of the rt2x00 bugs. :)
