Gaining association to such wireless access points takes five to fifteen minutes, waiting for RUN and ASSOC. Periodic connection dropping despite full-speed connectivity to the access points occurs once ASSOC is true. list scan causes firmware to crash occasionally. >How-To-Repeat: Connect to a wireless access point. >Fix: Use a previous version of FreeBSD (earlier than 7.0). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
