Please give it a spin. Managed to get this compiled yesterday and had a chance to do some testing last night. It does seem to be a bit better then the previous patch -- the interface comes up and associates automatically on boot now. Previously it would be up and scanning but never find anything until I restarted wpa_supplicant. It does still randomly stop working after a couple hours though. It will still show "up" and associated with the AP, but no packets get through until I down/up the interface. Sometimes have to cycle it twice. It may last a little longer than the previous patch before it dies, but I'm not 100% sure. Is that a known issue or should I start enabling debug flags? Thanks for all your work on this driver. Craig
