Hi,
I have some problems with the Netgear MA101 Rev.B. and try to connect to a Netgear ME102 access point.
I use driver version 0.11 and kernel 2.4.23. After loading the modules I start the following script

iwconfig wlan0	essid Funknetz channel 6 mode managed rate auto \
		rts off frag off \
		key restricted [1] be60ef2d13b8ae0f847c2cb0fd
iwpriv wlan0	short_preamble 0 auth_mode 1 scan_times 10 500
ifconfig wlan0	192.168.0.7
iwpriv wlan0	set_debug 0x180003

The syslog output is at the end of this mail.
First I see no difference between setting the debug level 0x180003 or 0x000003.
Where is the information why the bss don't match (DBG 0x080000)?

Second, after disconnecting the device there seems no way to reactivate it. In the following log message the device was unplugged at 21:56:50 and reconnectet at 22:21:34 but not unplugged again.
