Description Vadim Dyadkin 2010-06-02 19:48:34 UTC
When the AP signal is very poor, b43 produces this sometimes (rarely):

wlan0: associate with 00:1a:2a:b8:75:21 (try 1)
wlan0: associate with 00:1a:2a:b8:75:21 (try 2)
wlan0: associate with 00:1a:2a:b8:75:21 (try 3)
wlan0: association with 00:1a:2a:b8:75:21 timed out

But anyway, the card can connect to AP after this crash and everything works fine. I don't know is it important but seem scary :)
It happens only with 2.6.34, previously I've never spotted something like that (also, I've started to use nouveau from 2.6.34 instead of proprietary nvidia).
The card is broadcom 4318.
