I can reproduce this at will with the new WRT54GL we have here at
Cambridge.
Start up the laptop normall and associate with the AP. Then switch to a
console.
Run the following:
{{{
while true
do
iwconfig eth0 | grep Signal
done
}}}
Then on a different console run 'iwlist eth0 scan'
If NetworkManager is running this will break. iwconfig takes a long time
to ruturn and reports numbers like -256dBm. Pings also stop.
If NM is not running then this does not happen.
Marcelo: I've got a WRT54GL with your name on it waiting for you here at
Cambridge for when you arrive.
