Hi! I just set up a new c2d Merom laptop with intel ipw3945abg wlan module. During a big filetransfer (several gb) I noticed that the connection to the AP breaks reproducablely when using WPA. ---------------------- Oct 10 18:35:35 localhost TKIP: ICV error detected: STA=00:12:17:01:4f:02 Oct 10 18:35:37 localhost TKIP: ICV error detected: STA=00:12:17:01:4f:02 Oct 10 18:35:39 localhost TKIP: ICV error detected: STA=00:12:17:01:4f:02 Oct 10 18:35:47 localhost N/A: Michael MIC verification failed for MSDU from 00:12:17:01:4f:02 keyidx=0 Oct 10 18:35:47 localhost eth1: MSDU decryption/MIC verification failed (SA=00:12:17:01:4f:02 keyidx=0) Oct 10 18:35:47 localhost TKIP: ICV error detected: STA=00:12:17:01:4f:02 Oct 10 18:35:47 localhost TKIP: ICV error detected: STA=00:12:17:01:4f:02 Oct 10 18:35:47 localhost wpa_cli: interface eth1 DISCONNECTED ---------------------- So I searched for a fix on the Inet and found this webpage: http://www.tuxyturvy.com/blog/index.php?/archives/23-Using-the-IPW3945-with-Linux,-WPA,-and-the-SMP-Kernel.html To cut this short: Applying the recommended patch fixes those issues for me. I don't if this is fixed in ieee80211-1.2.x as 1.1.x is needed for ipw3945 (1.2.x crashes system with ipw3945 module). Best regards, Simon

So I just added the patch for the 1.1.13 version. Wait an hour, then sync up and remerge the package. It's fixed as we speak.
