Hi list!
On an old system with only USB 1.1, I tried to use a USB-dongle:
NETGEAR WG111v2. The device works perfectly with same kernel (2.6.26-1
from debian lenny) on a new system with USB 2.0, using the "rtl8187"
driver.
However, on USB 1.1 I get:
Jan 17 17:25:17 jonspc kernel: [13991.380234] wlan1: Initial auth_alg=0
Jan 17 17:25:17 jonspc kernel: [13991.380234] wlan1: authenticate with AP 00:1b:2f:0c:2f:28

[Longer part of syslog follows later in this post]
I tried to use the device on two USB 1.1 systems, both failed with the
"association frame received ... but not in associate state - ignore",
message.
Is USB 2.0 required, or is there a workaround for this problem?
Here is the output of lsusb:

Can you shut down NetworkManager and wpa_supplicant and try
association with iwconfig manually?
Sounds like wpa_supplicant mis-config for me, so you might want to
review your config.

A) The network I was trying to associate to was not encrypted.
B) I did try iwconfig manually, but I did not keep the logs (and the
computers in question belongs to a friend, so I can't easily repeat).
Given A), can a mis-configured wpa_supplicant still be the problem?

Have you had the possiblity to try it on USB 1.1 yet?

Yes and it works.
Once I got the device, I found and fixed two main problems in the
driver for the RTL8187. The first keeps mac80211 from adjusting the
wireless rate, and the second hurts the power setting for OFDM rates.
Both of these are fixed in the latest wireless-testing and in
compat-wireless.

Did it work on USB 1.1 even without your enhancements?

Yes. Almost nothing I changed dealt with the USB interface - just with
the TX part of the code. The part that did affect USB fixed a stalling
problem on both 1.1 and 2.0.
