That sucks. We had an option to disable scanning when connected. What
abot reviving this until the drivers catch up?

Having net for 20 seconds and then not for the next 20 seconds is
equivalent to not working I think. But I can associate.

It worked nicely with the old version I had before I think from before
the WPA stuff landed. Is that a specific problem with wpa_supplicant?
And what about that open vs. restricted stuff? I see that in the
interface it does distuinguish between open and shared key (is that open
and restricted?) but in the end it doesn't matter - it results in the
same behaviour, trying to connect with security mode open.
