Hi there,

This is just to confirm that this issue still doesn't seem to be resolved (unless I've missed something).

I believe that the symptoms above are in-line with what was already mentioned. It seems that the RT driver 2.1.0.0 included in the backport modules still doesn't work properly.

I'm using WPA/WPA2 with hidden SSID.

Hope this helps ...
