Does the access point provide two SSIDs, one hidden and one public, both using the same BSSID? Try doing an 'iwlist wlan0 scan' and looking for your AP; next do 'iwlist wlan0 scan essid <your hidden SSID>' and then look again for your AP. Can you post the output of those two here?

In case it makes any difference, wlan0 (an Atheros based PCMCIA card) was not in the system, alhough if I use the PCMCIA card instead of the USB wlan device, I get the same results. FYI the AP is a Netgear DG834G, firmware version 4.01.40. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 516788 *** |
