[driverloader] INVALID_OID in kernel log

[Linuxant support]

Hi,

try to edit the file '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1' and change
the "RATE" to "auto". This should remove the errors about the the
"INVALID_OID". You might have to also edit the profile in
'/etc/sysconfig/networking'.

You seem to be attaching properly to the access point, but the DHCP is not
giving you an IP address. Can you try to configure the IP address manually
with the proper netmask and gateway? If your adapter works under Windows,
type "ipconfig /all" in an MS-DOS prompt to see the settings assigned by the
DHCP server and then try the same settings under Linux.

Does the AP do any kind of MAC filtering or rate limiting?

Hello,

No changes.  I still have the messages in the log.

Nov 19 10:23:06 spip kernel: driverloader: SetCompleteHandler:
802_11_DESIRED_RATES Status=INVALID_OID Async=0
Nov 19 10:23:06 spip kernel: driverloader: ndisSetInformation:
802_11_DESIRED_RATES st=INVALID_OID W=0 N=0
Nov 19 10:23:06 spip kernel: driverloader: SetCompleteHandler:
802_11_DESIRED_RATES Status=INVALID_OID Async=0
Nov 19 10:23:06 spip kernel: driverloader: ndisSetInformation:
802_11_DESIRED_RATES st=INVALID_OID W=0 N=0
N

I've attatched the output of dumpdiag
Any help would be appreciated.
