So, did the patch below fix the problem?  Should I apply it?

I'm keen to find out the result too :)

Chances are it does make progress however we may still have the
general wireless/IP stack alignment issue that we are still discussing.


OK... so I've applied patches left right and centre. As there have been a few, I'll in-line them all at the bottom of this email.

The result is that there are no more unaligned access messages at all. However, I still can only scan one (occasionally two) AP, using iwlist eth2 scanning command before a bus error. Jean, I missed your emails regarding compiling the wireless-tools, I will try these and see if they help.

Perhaps related to the scanning problems, I cannot setup any wireless links, with Open access points, WEP access points, anything at all. I am losing direction on what information to supply here-in, but am willing to take suggestions.

Thanks for all your help,
Shaddy

I believe that's it.
