Try inserting the MAC address into the Access point as an accepted mac
address.

I have a 2200BG minipci card in my laptop and I am trying to get it to work with a D-link 2100AP Access point.
When I load the ipw2200 module, the link comes up for a few seconds and then goes down again.
I can, however, use kwifimanager to search for networks and it picks up the AP.
I have disabled all encryption, etc to eliminate problems, until I can just get it to work, but still no luck.
This is the result of iwconfig just after the ipw2200 module has been loaded:
--<snip>-- eth1 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"truwifi" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:0F:3D:AD:AE:16 Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality=40/100 Signal level=-11 dBm Noise level=-256 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:13 --<snip>--
And this is the results a few seconds later: --<snip>-- eth1 unassociated ESSID:"truwifi" Nickname:"asterix" Mode:Managed Frequency=2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00 Bit Rate=0 kb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off --<snip>--
So, it gets the AP, but for some reason it just won't keep the connection. I don't see any messages with errors or any helpful info in the messages file.
Any idea where I need to start looking?
