I am currently using a DWL-AG 520 AR5212 based card. I am connecting to an 802.11b access point that is approx 20 ft away through 2 walls. Whenever I try to bring the card up all that happens is the card sits in scan mode ala... Dec 7 00:21:23 mandelbrot kernel: ieee80211_next_scan: chan 165->1 Dec 7 00:21:23 mandelbrot kernel: ieee80211_newstate: SCAN -> SCAN Eventually it will make a connection but every time the connection is lousy and if I try to send any traffic at all over this connection it will then go back into scan mode immediately, effectively making the wireless link useless. On the other hand this same card with the antenna in the *exactly same* place works without a hitch under windows 2000/xp. I have tried everything I can think of on this and am at a loss as to what else I can possibly try to fix this issue. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
