It's absolutely not associated. It hunts around for the correct channel and
does find the correct frequency, but it just doesn't go onward to stage 3
and finish the association, unless I time the ifdown/ifup just right.

There are no other clues in /var/log/syslog worth mentioning. It's the same
stuff that's in the daemon.log.

Thanks!

Tom
