Which driver are you using, and a syslog file would be nice...

Comment 3 Eric Tanguy 2007-05-01 20:54:02 UTC 
driver rt2500pci from rt2x00
Comment 4 Saurabh Bathe 2007-05-23 08:08:39 UTC 
Same for me on FC7 t4 (yum update  till now).
I am using D610 (ipw2200). Will attach syslog once I get back  home.

This setup was working for me with NetworkManager on FC6 and I think RHEL5 also.
But broke in FC7 t4.

I can associate to the AP manually via wpa_supplicant and then dhclient for the
interface.

Dan/John, any ideas here?
Comment 7 John W. Linville 2007-05-23 18:29:42 UTC 
Nothing immediately comes to mind.  It is difficult to imagine what in the 
kernel would affect both ipw2200 and rt2500pci.
Comment 8 Eric Tanguy 2007-05-26 06:24:48 UTC 
I still have the same problem with livecd RC2 (ie kernel 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7).
Comment 9 Mary Ellen Foster 2007-06-03 00:28:47 UTC 
I'm still seeing this with iwl3945 and Fedora 7 released version.
