I played around with this driver and my card... so now i see how it's working. The part with association is realy importen, wuithout it nothing will work. But i think the driver in some part just too smart. If you give one variable to config it will take the best AP to variable. Look at this log: ------------------------------------log-------------------------------------- ipw2200: I ipw_rx_notification type = 13 (4 bytes) ipw2200: I ipw_rx_notification Scan completed: type 13, 32 channels, 1 status ipw2200: U ipw_best_network Network 'ap1 (mac:adress)' excluded because of privacy mismatch: off != on. ipw2200: U ipw_best_network Network 'ap2 (mac:adress)' excluded because of age: 15558728ms. ipw2200: U ipw_best_network Network 'Speedport W 501V (00:15:0c:70:d9:14)' excluded because of age: 15521544ms. ipw2200: U ipw_best_network Network 'FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7170 Tatonka (mac:adress)' excluded because of age: 16393684ms. ipw2200: U ipw_best_network Network 'FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7113 (mac:adress)' excluded because of age: 16427056ms. ipw2200: U ipw_best_network Network 'dd-wrt_vap (mac:adress)' is a viable match. ipw2200: U ipw_associate_network Assocation attempt: 'dd-wrt_vap', channel 6, 802.11b [4], long[:long], enc=off. ----------------------------------end----------------------------------------- this is unpatched driver with associate=0 i _disabled_ Wlan by NM, as result the card was configured like channel=6, essid=off/any, ap=any. For this driver it's mean: find any available connection with this variable and connect to it. In log you can see: it found one connection and connected to one AP on channel=6 without encryption. In some cantryes it is eligal to connect to somebodys AP, ist it? You can make this test at home. 1.configure your AP without encryption and disable Wlan in NM. 2.check iwconfig or your AP. My ddwrt show connected laptop, even i do not wont to use wlan. I think this is more security issue. Thouths about second patch was wrong, it will not working. The first one is correct. It sound like: if you not configured essid and bssid probably you do not know what you doing. If you realy wont it load module with assocaite=1 . Plese use my first patch. it is correct for most ubuntu users. The peaple who need this will know haw to load this module with associate=1 and it should be properly documented.
