Ok, I haven't tried WEP or MAC address filtering, but I don't see how
those would make a significant difference. I can try again, but not
before mid next week since I'm away from my test machine.

Thanks, I appreciate it. You should be able to cut it down by using
--reference /path/to/local/linux-git-tree or just compat (though I would

versions you were testing before and had no problem.
