I have a (not so) similar problem with my atheros based D-Link DWL-G650 card with late CURRENTs. The problem is very strange: I can connect stablily to my neighbor's 11g wireless network (even if the signal is lower than my D-Link DI-624 AP) and I hardly can connect to my AP. When it happens, the connection goes down after few seconds (no carrier) and I cannot reconnect anymore. This used to work with older current (about a month ago). I though the AP was broken, but I have a 11b device (voip phone) that can connect without problems (yes, I tried to connect the card in 11b mode, w/ & w/o wep, but it's the same). Anyone seeing this? -- Alex Dupre
