Wireless can't dhcp my AP after kernel update

2008-07-18 Thread Sjoerd Hardeman
Hi, After the most recent kernel update, my laptop can't get a dhcp from my access point (a linksys wrt350n) anymore, it receives time-outs instead. I'm connecting with an 4965N intel wireless card. It still works with other AP, all which don't run in the N-mode, so I suspect there's the problem.

2008-07-18 Thread celejar
Hi, I'm not sure where to start. I'm running Sid. The system has been up for several days, with numerous hibernate (suspend to disk) / resume cycles. The system is partially up to date (not totally, since I only have intermittent net access). Today, I rebooted it, and now it is badly borked.
