Linville" Cc: linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org In-Reply-To: <1280470034.14523.4.camel@dcbw.foobar.com> References: <1280470034.14523.4.camel@dcbw.foobar.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2010 23:16:01 -0700 Message-ID: <1280470561.14523.13.camel@dcbw.foobar.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Some APs get pissy if you don't send the firmware the extended rates in the association request's rates TLV. Found this on a Linksys WRT54G v2; it denies association with status code 18 unless you add the extended rates too. The old driver did this, but it got lost in the cfg80211 conversion.
