ist funny, we use the same equipment. i use ist also in managed mode :)

i have some bugs in the hostap driver...: while changing the essid.

my /etc/network/interfaces
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
        pre-up iwconfig wifi0 mode managed
        pre-up iwconfig wifi0 essid "my network"
        up iptables-restore /etc/network/iptables

that all is ok. I can do a iwlist wifi0 scan and see some other networks.
but a ifconfig wifi0 essid "new network" ends with an

Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
    SET failed on device wifi0 ; Invalid argument.

dmesg:
wifi0: reset port failed to disable port
wifi0: hfa384x_setup_bap - timeout after
wifi0: prism2_tx_80211 - to BAP0 failed
wifi0: scheduled card reset
hostap_pci: wifi0: resetting card
wifi0: Original COR value: 0x0
prism2_hw_init: initialized in 201 ms
wifi0: LinkStatus=1 (Connected)
wifi0: LinkStatus: BSSID=00:0b:6b:30:71:29

but it works... now i am connected to the new network.
mmmh same at your site?

the second: i cant reduce the txpower... but thats a problem of the
firmware i read in the net.

regards
