I had this problem as well. It has to do with mac80211, cfg80211 and the rate control algorithm not initializing early enough in the boot process. These two patches should fix it: [PATCH] mac80211: fix initialisation when built-in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/5710/match=patch+mac80211+initialisation [PATCH] cfg80211: fix initialisation if built-in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/71326/match=patch+cfg80211+initialisation Regards, Rob - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
