Comment 42 for bug 292054

Alex,

At your suggestion I tried linux-image-2.6.28-6-generic. I no longer see the very long delay that leads to wpa_supplicant timing out and blacklisting the AP leading to >60s association.

Jaunty ath5k is still slow though - comparing ath5k to zd1211rw over repeated runs I get a statistically significant mean time (from starting NetworkManager to binding an IP address) of 21 seconds versus 9 seconds respectively.

There also seems to be some new problem with Jaunty, I'm seeing the following error repeated every so often: NetworkManager: <debug> [1233236271.814432] periodic_update(): Roamed from BSSID 00:1D:68:0A:xx:yy (nameofwap) to (none) ((none))
Why would it try to roam to a non-existent AP? During the couple of seconds this happens it seems like packets are dropped.
