The solution is the little patch pointed at http://iprserv.jura.uni-leipzig.de/pipermail/atmel-wlan-usb/2005-August/002474.html Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.upgrade kernel 2.emerge at76c503 3.try to use it Actual Results: If you don't apply the patch, the card seems unable to send data. It actually connects to wireless networks, but then it sends nothing. Expected Results: The network card should work regularily, transmitting and receiving data when needed. Celeron CPU, Ad-Hoc wlan with WEP encryption. The card I'm using is a SMC USB adapter. The problem seems indipendent from WEP. genstef@gentoo.org 2005-10-23 06:44:35 0000 I think this was already fixed by at76c503a-kernel-2.6-fixes.diff a few days ago. Please reopen if not. ardovm@yahoo.it 2005-10-23 13:37:40 0000 No, it wasn't. :-( Actually, I ran into this bug right after the last update of the ebuild (because I also switched to a new kernel in that occasion). at76c503a-kernel-2.6-fixes.diff in fact doesn't contain the patch I pointed. genstef@gentoo.org 2005-10-23 13:55:57 0000 thanks, I fixed it with -r2. I hope your adhoc is working now :) ardovm@yahoo.it 2005-10-24 13:57:55 0000 Yes, it is working perfectly! I think you can close this bug now. Thank you! :-)
