Mine goes like this: kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready kernel: SoftMAC: Associate: Scanning for networks first. kernel: SoftMAC: Start scanning with channel: 1 kernel: SoftMAC: Scanning 14 channels kernel: SoftMAC: Scanning finished kernel: SoftMAC: Queueing Authentication Request to 00:12:17:0d:b5:59 kernel: SoftMAC: Cannot associate without being authenticated, requested authentication kernel: SoftMAC: Already requested authentication, waiting... kernel: SoftMAC: Sent Authentication Request to 00:12:17:0d:b5:59. kernel: SoftMAC: Open Authentication completed with 00:12:17:0d:b5:59 kernel: SoftMAC: sent association request! kernel: SoftMAC: associated! See the difference ? It looks to me like the card itself is working properly, but something is preventing the linkup between the wifi card and the router.
