I hope there is someone that could tell me how to correct this. I have supplied as much information as I could find.
Let me tell what I have tried.
Test environment:
* Nokia 770 (3.2005.51-13)
* Router - Linksys WRT54GSV4
When I set the router to 802.11b only my connection works fine. When I switch the router to 802.11g only or 802.11b/g I can not get a connection from the 770.
At first I thought that it was the router (even though my laptop works with the router under all settings). I tried the same thing with a Netgear router and experienced the same problem when the router was set to g. I also tried connecting to other routers at various hot-spots, the connection only works with routers set to b only. Most places where I want to use the connection have their routers set to g or b/g so it is important for me to get this working.
I also tried to disable security on the router but it did not help.
This is what happens when I try to connect to a router that is set to b/g (mixed mode):
* The router is identified, the SID is shown and the signal is strong (I sat close to the router).
* I select the router and the W flashes for a few seconds and then shows it is connected.
* When I look at the IP assigned I see that it did not connect
(169.254.178.242 default router 0.0.0.0).
Here is the dmesg output when I try to connect to the router in mixed mode:
