Hi, I have some trouble with the new (svn version 1851) wlan_wext_write auto-enabling and loading of firmware through udev scripts. I reported this in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=465681 but I think it is not Debian-specific: "The firmware loading fails because when /etc/wlan/wlan-udev.sh is run, the wlan0 interface is not available for wlanctl-ng: wlanctl-ng: No such device wlanctl-ng: No such device prism2dl: No such device Running it manually later works fine. I inserted a "sleep 2" on the top of wlan-udev.sh and then it works fine. It can seem like the udev rule 84-linux-wlan-ng runs the wlan-udev.sh script "too early". I also stopped network-manager to verify that it was not to blame. However, if I echo 0 > /sys/module/p80211/parameters/wlan_wext_write, the firmware loading works. So this problem might be related to the new auto-enabling in the driver." Does anyone else experience similar problems? Tormod
