[driverloader] Connection to the AP is there but only Invalid Misc Packets appears

[Fabian Wilhelm]

Dear Linuxant

I have installed your product on a Acer Aspire WLMI 1510. I have a 
NETGEAR-WLAN-ROUTER WPN284. Further I have a Belkin F507010 PCMCIA Card and 
try to load it with the Broadcom Generic Driver from your website-link 
(netbc564.inf, bcmwl564.sys) and Linuxant. I load the driver, an read in a 
trial license from your site.
After I have set an essid the iwconfig-output looks as followed:

# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

sit0      no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"ANAME"  Nickname:"unknown"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437 GHz  Access Point: 00:0F:B5:A7:B6:52
          Bit Rate=54 Mb/s   Tx-Power=25 dBm
          RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=35/94  Signal level=-51 dBm  Noise level=-154 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:3897   Missed beacon:0

Other Outputs which could probably be helpfull you can see at the end of this 
message.

How you can see, I only receive Invalid Misc packets.
My WinXP-Client can connect without any problems.

Have you any idea why??

Thanks a lot for your help

with kindly regards

Fabian Wilhelm
