also, do you know if there is any difference between your wirelesstools and the one in the mulliner.org repo?

The dummy AP is just so that applications think you are online and don't tell ICd to connect. I am not sure what would cause it to disconnect, but the best solution seems is to completely replace ICd. It turns out that I currently do not have time for that project.

I just compiled wireless-tools because at the time, they were not available. I would recommend the mulliner.org package for the sole reason that it is a package.

I am getting a similar message now. Perhaps something changed between the first release of OS2008 and the latest one? Actually, I may have been running the N810 version when I made this. I cannot remember for sure now.

I'll look into it more.
