Wireless communication has failed for recent 2.6.26-gitX kernels - a definite regression. The logs show sequences such as:
eth1: authenticate with AP 00:1a:70:46:ba:b1 eth1: authenticate with AP 00:1a:70:46:ba:b1 eth1: authenticated eth1: associate with AP 00:1a:70:46:ba:b1 eth1: associate with AP 00:1a:70:46:ba:b1 eth1: associate with AP 00:1a:70:46:ba:b1 eth1: association with AP 00:1a:70:46:ba:b1 timed out
I have this problem with b43 and p54usb, and there is at least one report of the same problem with zd1211rw. In my case, the encryption method is WPA-PSK/TKIP. I have not tested with WEP or unencrypted networks.
Bisection yields the following:
175f9c1bba9b825d22b142d183c9e175488b260c is first bad commit commit 175f9c1bba9b825d22b142d183c9e175488b260c Author: Jussi Kivilinna <jussi.kivilinna@mbnet.fi> Date: Sun Jul 20 00:08:47 2008 -0700
net_sched: Add size table for qdiscs
Add size table functions for qdiscs and calculate packet size in qdisc_enqueue().
Based on patch by Patrick McHardy http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=115201979221729&w=2

======================================================== I tried to reverse apply the patch; however, that does not happen cleanly, but I am confident that the problem arises here. I don't understand enough about this qdisc stuff to even guess at what might be wrong.
As always, I am willing to test any trial patches, etc.
Thanks,
Larry
