On the other hand doing iwlist scan, doesn't say device is busy, but also hangs. Nothing interesting in the logs. Module reload helps. The above with updated wpa_supplicant there (latest -git) NM is from ubuntu PPA archive yet, not sure if happens with stable one. I also applied two patches from Helmut Schaa, maybe it was the cause. I also noticed on both my notebooks, that wpa supplicant (stable too) fails to do first scan, and retries after 10 seconds. I changed this to 1 sec on my main notebook, and 2 seconds on ath5k. I also happy to say that I don't see anymore reset hangs. Maybe tx power patches fixed that? Also it seems that scan results show correct power levels for APs near me, including mine (they usually were very different from these I got from iwlwifi - now more or less they are the same) My AP is -51dBm ~ -45 dBm >>From now on, during two/three weeks I will try not to use my computers I have very big exams very soon. So I might not read email. But then I will be free for some long time to help with anything I can. Best regards and thanks again, Maxim Levitsky
