Default WiFi bizarre connection problem
Hello

I have problems connecting my HP 6730s to a Conceptronic C300BRS4 access point+switch via WiFi.

In Linux, I can connect to another open WiFi, but not to mine. Strange enough, Windows Vista connects flawlessly to both of them!

I have tried both with DHCP and static IP, even downgrading the WiFi server to an "11g" without any encryption.

My configuration:
* HP 6730s laptop
* Intel Wireless Wifi Link 5100AGN
* OpenSUSE 11.1
* Kernel 2.6.27-0.1-default
* 192.168.1.1 -> ADSL router (gateway & DHCP server)
* 192.168.1.6 -> Conceptronic C300BRS4 Access Point
* 192.168.1.5 -> laptop

And several logs. Any help would be really appreciated. Oscar
