Additional info: Compaq Presario V2000 laptop, running 64-bit "hpsp33008" driver under ndiswrapper. wlassistant-0.5.5-4.fc6.x86_64 works perfectly. Please contact me if you need any more troubleshooting done.
Please retry with wlassistant 0.5.7-1.fc6, which was built this morning, and should show up in the repositories either tonight or tomorrow.
Tom, I'm sorry it took so long to get back to you on this. Had to move, then move again, etc. It appears that the problem was actually in the WAP at the motel. Apparently the thing was changing ID's or MAC addresses or god-knows-what from time to time. I don't remember now how I did it, but I found a way to clear all of wlassistant's cached data, and I was able to resolve the problem, every time, by doing that. Apparently there was something in the Access Point(s) that I was using that changed from time to time. You can close this bug now, probably as NOTABUG.
