Package: waproamd Version: 0.6-7 Severity: normal When I plug in my USB wireless adapter (GigaFast WF741-UIC), I see the following in syslog:
May 18 12:53:41 localhost kernel: usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2 May 18 12:53:43 localhost usb.agent[3195]: zd1201: loaded successfully May 18 12:53:43 localhost kernel: wlan0: ZD1201 USB Wireless interface May 18 12:53:43 localhost kernel: usbcore: registered new driver zd1201 May 18 12:53:53 localhost waproamd.hotplug[3289]: Invoking waproamd for wlan0 May 18 12:53:53 localhost waproamd(wlan0)[3299]: waproamd 0.6 initializing, using wireless event notifications.

So I do "/etc/init.d/waproamd start" to no effect (that's another bug for another time) and "/etc/init.d/waproamd start wlan0" produces the following output: May 18 13:13:27 localhost waproamd(wlan0)[3665]: waproamd 0.6 initializing, using wireless event notifications.

As you can see, there's an association with the mac address of my router, but no ESSID or wep key the first time. When dhcp finally times out and after waproamd's timeout, it correctly associates with my router and everything is great. This same problem in a different variation sometimes happens when I'm on the fringe of the range and lose association, e.g.: May 18 13:17:06 localhost waproamd(wlan0)[3665]: Scanning...
