Hi there,

I also have the problems like Mass-Yas wrote in #227 - can't connect after "wlan0: direct probe to 00:1a:2a:41:13:fc (try 1)", "wlan0: direct probe to 00:1a:2a:41:13:fc (try 2)", "wlan0: direct probe to 00:1a:2a:41:13:fc (try 3)" and "wlan0: direct probe to 00:1a:2a:41:13:fc timed out".

Hardware: ASUS eeePC 1000
