I am experiencing the same problems on 2.6.24. I have also noticed that it cannot recover association after waking from sleep. I must set the essid before it will talk to the AP. I always see this in dmesg at the time:
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
After I explicitly re-specify the ssid, I see this in dmesg:
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready
To clarify: when the interface comes up after boot or wake, it associates but will not actually send data (Destination Host Unreachable). I must run "iwconfig wlan0 essid <ssid>". After that, it works. When I move to a new network with a different access point, I must unload and reload the module. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to run with debugging and send along some logs.
