| | That was a test, you passed. Try this patch.

|
| So, the "ioctl[SIOCS80211, op 103, len 128]: Device not configured"
| error doesn't appear anymore, but wpa_supplicant still doesn't leave
| status SCANNING....
|

| May 20 11:34:36 gahrtop kernel: wpi0: timeout resetting Tx ring 1
| May 20 11:34:36 gahrtop kernel: wpi0: timeout resetting Tx ring 3
| May 20 11:34:36 gahrtop kernel: wpi0: timeout resetting Tx ring 4
| May 20 11:34:36 gahrtop kernel: wpi0: fatal firmware error
| May 20 11:34:36 gahrtop kernel: wpi0: timeout resetting Rx ring
|
| Otherwise, same thing... no voice from wpa_supplicant after:
|
| No suitable AP found.
| Setting scan request: 0 sec 0 usec
| Starting AP scan (broadcast SSID)
|
| The strange thing is that:
|
| | sudo ifconfig wlan0 list scan
| SSID            BSSID              CHAN RATE   S:N     INT CAPS
| NETGEAR         00:09:5b:a8:53:f4   11   11M  28:0    100 Ec
| ZyXEL           00:19:cb:14:f4:ed   13   54M   1:0    100 ES   WME
|
| | sudo ifconfig wlan0 scan
| [wait here forever...]
|
| How does the interface know about stations in range if it cannot scan?
