[laptop-discuss] ral (RaLink RT2500) driver shows incorrect WEP status, goes out to lunch

Hi,

I resolved the previous issue with cardbus by just using the nexus driver that 
shipped with b51 (I didn't know at the time which one was preferable).

I can bring ral0 up and scan for APs.

I'm currently experiencing two major problems:

Scanning shows some APs with WEP as unencrypted (in particular, the large 
campus network here, which uses Cisco kit iirc). Some other networks 
correctly display WEP status. I can associate with those correctly, as well 
as with unencrypted networks.

After using the card for between 10 minutes and an hour and generating a few 
MB of traffic, it completely stops receiving traffic. Using ifconfig to bring 
the interface down hangs.

Does anyone have suggestions for diagnosing either problem with e.g. dtrace?
