Hi,

I just upgraded from kernel 2.6.25-gentoo-r7 to 2.6.26-gentoo-r3.
Now I wonder why my wirerless wpa2-connection with wpa_supplicant breaks just 
after a few seconds. The configuration established an absolutely stable 
connection with 2.6.25.

 eix wpa_supplicant
[I] net-wireless/wpa_supplicant
 
     Installed versions:  0.5.7(21:07:27 16.10.2008)(dbus kernel_linux qt3 qt4 
readline ssl -gnutls -gsm -kernel_FreeBSD -madwifi)


lsmod | grep iwl
iwl4965                88756  0 
mac80211              113676  1 iwl4965
firmware_class          8832  3 iwl4965,qla2xxx,pcmcia

kernel config 2.6.26:
cat .config | grep 4965
CONFIG_IWL4965=m
CONFIG_IWL4965_HT=y
CONFIG_IWL4965_LEDS=y
CONFIG_IWL4965_SPECTRUM_MEASUREMENT=y
CONFIG_IWL4965_SENSITIVITY=y

kernel config 2.6.25:
cat .config | grep 4965
CONFIG_IWL4965=m
# CONFIG_IWL4965_QOS is not set
# CONFIG_IWL4965_SPECTRUM_MEASUREMENT is not set
# CONFIG_IWL4965_SENSITIVITY is not set
# CONFIG_IWL4965_DEBUG is not set

Even if I turn of the additional config parameters (HT,LEDS ...) with 2.6.26 
the connections stay unstable.



Does anybody have a clue what is going on ?

Regards,
Michael
