I'm using airo_mpi again. I have often the problem that I cannot send but
receive with airo.c in 2.6.3. I have not found the time yet to debug it.
The problem appears mainly in regions with multiple accesspoints which
do not broadcast the ssid. iwconfig shows an access point
In that situations reloading airo.ko does not help. The syslog says
nothing interesting (no tx timeouts). Insmod'ing airo_mpi fixes
the problem at once.
