Unfortunately I cannot answer that, since I have not been running CURRENT for that long. Is there a way I can help to test that? I still have my old notebook (7.1-STABLE running wpa_supplicant 0.5.10 with ipw and rum wireless adapters). I can get the logs from that machine, too, if that would help. > Jouni just released a 0.6.9 > version and it appeared to have a fix that might be appropriate. I need > to digest your logs to understand but you can try importing 0.6.9 yourself. I will give it a try. Just now I merged the diffs between 0.6.8 and 0.6.9 to my /usr/src. Except for wpa_supplicant-0.6.8/src/common/nl80211_copy.h, wpa_supplicant-0.6.9/src/l2_packet/l2_packet_linux.c and, wpa_supplicant-0.6.9/wpa_supplicant/Makefile I was able to apply the diffs. I will try this at university on Thursday or Friday and report any success or failure here. Thanks for the help and hints so far. Daniel
