ipw2200 issues

[Daniel Nilsson <daniel@oden.homeip.net>]

Hi,

I've just about had enough of my problems with the ipw2200 driver and
the 2.6.12 kernel. I used to have a rock solid wireless connection
while I was using vanilla kernel 2.6.11.8 and ipw2200 driver version
1.0.3 but ever since upgrading the kernel to 2.6.12 (vanilla or debian
version doesn't matter) and driver version 1.0.6 or above I can't seem
to keep my connection up and running.

I've [1]documented my issues in comments 2,3,4, so I wont get in to all
the details here. But I'm wondering though if I'm the only one with
these kinds of issues? I'm using sarge on an IBM T42 laptop with a
built-in "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG (rev 05)" card. 128
bit WEP encryption is in use, and I'm the only user on the network
(it's my home setup). My access point is an Linksys WAP54G, with the
latest FW (3.0.3).

Any thoughts or experiences welcome...

Thanks
Daniel
