Hi Richard,

I get the same error when i connect to my wireless router about no PV6
routers so i think that is fine.  I use dhcp for addressing my ip since i go
to coffee shops and use the free wifi at school.  I use a dlink dwl-650 ($20
at fry's refurb) and madwifi-ng drivers and no problems.  sometimes it will
just not work so i will have to restart iwconfig by directing it to a non
existent router and the set it back to the router i want.  have not been
able to isolate the problem when this happens to me but this trick seems to
work.
