Excellent :-) So, that's a WPA AP, right ? And you managed to get a
DHCP offer from the AP ?
I currently have 2 bugs with our 2.0 firmware:
1) with my AP, my module doesn't hear the AP's DHCP offer unless I switch
it to full power (no power saving).
2) If I scp a big file from another machine to /dev/null, the link stalls,
and it looks like the module is dead.

Atheros is saying that this could be related to my AP, so I'd be really
happy if you could run test 2) on your network.

Yeah, it's not too bad. Are you running with the peripheral clock at 50 Mhz ?
Also, do still get the spinlock BUG() you were frequently getting ?

Lots of questions, sorry :-/

Cheers,
Samuel.
