[Tfug] UAWiFi and wpa_supplicant

[Jude Nelson]

Robert,

The iwl4965 driver is still experimental (even though it's in 2.6.24).
 I use iwl3945, and it has problems sustaining a connection with one
ESSID for over 5 minutes (makes SSH-ing a real PITA).  I'd make sure
to use the absolute latest driver from SVN if I were you.

Regards,
Jude Nelson
