All, I have a Sony Vaio Z1XSP which has the Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2200BG card in it. Using the latest CVS code works just fine but I need to switch off the wireless card (there is a physical switch on this laptop) and switch it back on again during the process to get it to work. So my step by step is: vaio:~# iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed vaio:~# iwconfig wlan0 key restricted <MY KEY> vaio:~# iwconfig wlan0 essid <MY SSID> At this stage I get the following when I iwconfig wlan0: wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"" Mode:Managed Access Point: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF Bit Rate:54Mb/s RTS thr:1600 B Fragment thr:2304 B Encryption key:<MY KEY> Security mode:restricted When I switch off and switch back on the WIFI, the ESSID kicks in: wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"<MY ESSID)" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.442GHz Access Point: 00:09:5B:6A:06:E2 Bit Rate:54Mb/s RTS thr:1600 B Fragment thr:2304 B Encryption key:<MY KEY> Security mode:restricted No I can dhclient wlan0 and all is well. Kind of odd. I have tried putting the key after the ESSID but that doesn't work either. I get the following error: Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. Anyway, I've had a look on the mailing list archives but can't see the same problem. Anyone have any hints? It's not exactly a show stopper as everything works once I bounce the card.
