It does seem to see my AP and occasionaly I do see the AP when I do `iwlist 
wlan0 scanning` but the interface never stays associated with my AP (linksys 
wireless router).  
 
I did have this working with the 2.4 kernel just last night but after I 
upgraded and recompiled with the latest code from CVS it just doesn't work. 
 
I did read the troubelshooting page but I am not using UHCI or usb_UHCI:

should I mess with ohci_hcd and try another module?  
 
Thanks for your help!
