Comment (by harrier):

 I'm having a related problem. It's to orinoco (hermes) cards in general
 (in master mode).

 Using the following version

  ath_hal: 0.9.17.2 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413,
 RF5413)[[BR]]
  wlan: 0.8.4.2 (svn r1648)[[BR]]
  ath_rate_sample: 1.2 (svn r1648)[[BR]]
  ath_pci: 0.9.4.5 (svn r1648)[[BR]]

 I'm having problems associating to any hermes chipset AP I try. I've tried
 WavepointIIs, hand-rolled linux with hermesAP cards in Master mode. Each
 one fails to associate. Heres the ath debug from one in particular.

 And that keeps repeating. Locks channed briefly, does a scan around the
 channels, then locks again briefly, but never associater. No WEP or
 encryption of any kind.

 All tests I've done in 802.11b mode so far have failed to associate to all
 except one access point, a small 3Com WL-308. Most of the cards we have
 are orinocos, changing slowly to atheros.

 I was wondering about the nwid errors in 0.9.0, but that seems to have
 gone away in r1648. I initially thought this association problem was
 distance related, since the first link I tried was 30miles. Now I'm down
 to 3 feet :)

 If I can supply any more info to help resolve this issue, I'd be glad to
 help.

 Regards
 harrier.
