Hi,
Just providing some more info. I'm experiencing my system freeze as soon as I set the ESSID under 8.10 beta, 2.6.27-5-generic with a Linksys WMP300 (Atheros chipset):

I'm trying to associate to a Linksys WAG160N ADSL router which has no WEP security and a hidden ESSID.

Once I set the ESSD, iwconfig shows the AP association and then a couple of seconds after the system locks up. No panic in the logs... nothing. If there is any way you'd like me to attempt to gain more information please let me know.

The system is completely logged Ctrl-Alt-F? and Ctrl-Alt-Del have no effect.

I did have the card working under other distros... Sabayon 3.5 (IIRC).

Cheers,

Doug
