What kind of wireless adaptor is it? I've got an Intel IPW2915ABG in my
Thinkpad T43.  I get exactly the same message on boot, but it seems to
be harmless and I can connect anyway.  This started happening in driver
1.0.8 I think...

Are you sure you're not connected after seeing this message? Does
iwconfig report that you are not associated with an access point?


Best regards,
