Hi,

Since the recent changes to the 802.11 infrastructure, I've not been
unable to use the wireless card in my laptop using the ndis interface.

Using tcpdump on the interface, I noticed that no packets are making
their way out (no packets whatsoever in the dump). The association with
the AP is making place though. The interface is configured to use WEP.
The wireless router is a Linksys WRT54G.

here's the relevent output of dmesg before and after the changes:

before:

ndis0: <Dell TrueMobile 1400 Dual Band WLAN Mini-PCI Card> mem
0xfafec000-0xfafedfff irq 17 at device 3.0 on pci2
ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.0
ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:90:4b:78:cb:fc
ndis0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
ndis0: 11g rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
ndis0: link up

after (with verbose on):

ndis0: <Dell TrueMobile 1400 Dual Band WLAN Mini-PCI Card> mem
0xfafec000-0xfafedfff irq 17 at device 3.0 on pci2
ndis0: Reserved 0x2000 bytes for rid 0x10 type 3 at 0xfafec000
ndis0: [MPSAFE]
ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.0
ndis0: bpf attached
ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:90:4b:78:cb:fc
ndis0: bpf attached
ndis0: link up

The ndis driver data was generated from the driver that came with the
laptop:
	DriverVer=06/13/2003, 3.20.32.0
	files: bcmwl5.inf, bcmwl5.sys

I'll be happy to provide any other information needed in case what is
here is not complete.

Thanks in advance,

Steph
