Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case. Either that, or this is another bug. >> My Intel 5350 won't associate at all with some unencrypted networks, >> unless I add: >> >> alias wlan0 iwlagn >> options iwlagn swcrypto50=1 swcrypto=1 >> >> To an arbitrary file in /etc/modprobe.d.

I still can't associate with a lot of unprotected wireless networks. This is what dmesg shows me: [ 239.024909] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready [ 239.055047] wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1a:1e:91:51:41 try 1 [ 239.062981] wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1a:1e:91:51:21 try 1 [ 239.260567] wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1a:1e:91:51:21 try 2 [ 239.460568] wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1a:1e:91:51:21 try 3 [ 239.660101] wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1a:1e:91:51:21 timed out wlan0 never becomes "ready". This isn't a signal strength problem, I still get this when I'm next to the router. Is there anything I can do to better diagnose the problem? This problem wasn't around on WPA protected networks that I've connected to before. Daniel
