Kernel Version: 2.6.34, 2.6.35
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline

Hi,
I have a strange problem with a WiFi connection on a Freebox. The PC has a PCI
WiFi card D-Link DWL-G520, it uses the ath5k driver.
The card is recognized by the kernel 2.6.3x:
cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain
ath5k 0000:05:04.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
ath5k 0000:05:04.0: registered as 'phy0'
ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x30
ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a direct regpair map
ath: Country alpha2 being used: AM
ath: Regpair used: 0x30
phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'minstrel'
ath5k phy0: Atheros AR2414 chip found (MAC: 0x79, PHY: 0x45)
cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: AM
With Network-Manager (0.8.0.999-1), iwlist or iw we can see the Freebox (WEP
for testing):
$ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan

And when I try to connect, I have a timeout:

I tried with a vanilla kernel 2.6.34 recompile without module and with an
Debian image package linux-image-2.6.35, I removed the filter rules
(netfilter), always the same timeout ...
On the PC with Network-Manager (0.8.0.999-1) I can connect to Ethernet, I also
tried a 3G dongle successfully.
The Freebox works because I can connect to with WiFi from a EeePC which also
uses a Debian with LXDE and Network-Manager (0.8.0.999-1).
The lspci -vnn :
05:04.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. Atheros
AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0013] (rev 01)
Subsystem: D-Link System Inc D-Link AirPlus DWL-G520 Wireless PCI
Adapter(rev.B) [1186:3a13]
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 17
Memory at ff7e0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2
Kernel driver in use: ath5k
What is causing this kernel timeout?
Regards.
