iwi on BETA4 with WPA2: device timeout/firmware error

[Hugo Silva]

Hello list,

Just wanted to report another issue with BETA4 on my laptop.

The wireless connection is "working" without encryption (interface goes 
up and down every few minutes, but at least I don't lose any 
connections, so it's barely noticeable).

Today I was setting up WPA2 with wpa_supplicant and hostapd and managed 
to do so (status: associated), however it goes down a few seconds later 
with iwi0: device timeout and iwi0: firmware error, every single time.

Is this a known problem ? At least on my machine, WPA + iwi is currently 
unusable, as I am not able to ping anything even in the brief moments 
the card is associated with the AP.


Also, after about 1 day and a half up (without WEP or WPA), the 
interface died with "firmware error", I could only bring it back by 
unloading and loading if_iwi.ko ..



7.0-BETA4 i386.


Best regards,

Hugo
