Problem associating Wireless network - intel iwl4965agn

[Micha Feigin <michf@post.tau.ac.il>]

i have  an IBM T61 laptop with the intel iwl4965agn wireless chipset (centrino
related i believe).

I got the drivers and even the new mac80211 installed and the card is up and
running. I can find close access points with no problem with iwlist wlan0 scan
but when I try to associate it keeps showing that the reception is at 0.

Any ideas?

Example output:

iwconfig wlan0:

wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"...."  Nickname:""
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437 GHz  Access Point: 00:16:E3:A9:8C:46

iwlist wlan0 scan:

Same thing at home with an ad-hoc setup

Thanks
