Oh yes sometime ago, i wrote an email to you about this before,
u did mention to check out if it is a driver bug.
but i don't know which driver u refer to. was it hostap driver ?

the version i'm using now is still the sept'02 copy.
my kernel wireless ext. is v12 and pcmcia-cs is v3.2.0 and
my wireless tools v25.


problem explanation:

in the past, using Wireless Tools v25pre8 with "IWCONFIG WLAN0" run, you
will get all the info on wep keys, signal, many others and ESSID (Network
Name).

after i upgrade the wireless tools to v25 release, ESSID is now missing
from the command "IWCONFIG WLAN0" return result.


what should i check on now? any other driver to probe on?
