Description Petr Gregor 2012-02-24 11:01:42 UTC 
When I am in area with A LOT of wireless networks, scan fails with: Failed to read scan data : Argument list too long

Also wpa_supplicant fails to connect (i guess because it cannot scan)

System info:
net-wireless/wireless-tools-30_pre9
vanilla-sources-3.2.6
Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (rev 35) (iwlwifi)

This is actually due to your wireless card, any mixed networks will result in the card failing to transmit or receive. Attach emerge --info to bug report please.

What do you mean by "mixed networks"? It works fine until I move to the center of the building.
