Hi, I was debating whether to report this since I haven't had a chance to compile a debug kernel yet (this is on a somewhat embedded system that boots off flash memory, so it's a bit of a pain), but since you asked... :) In short, ipw doesn't seem to work at all for me anymore. It worked okay in 6-stable with an occasional hiccup, but upon upgrading to current it doesn't seem to be doing anything. It doesn't even try to scan; it just sits there on channel 1 with "no carrier". "ifconfig list scan" shows nothing. Manually setting the SSID/channel doesn't do anything either (it remains on channel 1). Sometimes "ifconfig scan" does nothing, sometimes it results in a panic. Since I haven't run a current prior to the 802.11 changes on this particular machine, I don't know if it was working before them or not :( Haven't had time to mess with it yet. To take care of the obvious: Yes, wlan_scan_sta is loaded. I also built a kernel with the two scan modules compiled in and no change. I've loaded ipw_bss.ko and set legal.intel_ipw.license_ack="1" in loader.conf. Loading all 3 firmware modules doesn't seem to help. It happens with the GENERIC kernel too (that's what I first noticed when I booted a snapshot to do the install). Craig
