Strange, I updated to the newest buildroot yesterday (with 2.6.20
kernel) and i seem to experience the same problem now. However, with
2.6.18 everything worked fine.
Have there been some changes in wifistix code since migrating to
2.6.20 (i can only see minor changes in the patches in the wifistix
package)?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Simon
