My wireless adapter is a Linksys WUSB11 2.6 and I am using the net-wireless/at76c503a-0.12_beta23-r3 driver, module atc76c503-rfmd

Latest updates of baselayout cause my wireless to stop working correctly after a reboot.
The version that works for me is baselayout-1.12.0_pre15.
The problem is not the kernelversion (currently 2.6.16-ck1) or gcc version (currently 4.1), as I it works with different kernel- and GCC-versions under 1.12.0_pre15.

Does anyone have a solution ?

Edit:
here is my net file
Code:
modules=( "iwconfig" )
essid_wlan0="wwwireless"
mode_wlan0="Managed"
key_wwwireless="###my hex key### enc open"
channel_wlan0="10"
iwconfig_wlan0="rts off frag off nick wwwireless"
config_wwwireless=( "dhcp" )


this leads to this result of iwconfig wlan0
Code:
wlan0     IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:"off"  Nickname:"wwwireless"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.457 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated
          Bit Rate:11 Mb/s   Tx-Power=15 dBm
          Retry limit:8   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0



Result of dmesg does not change, so this means that the module is loaded correctly ?
Code:

I tried several times starting /etc/init.d/wlan0 with different changes in the config-file and now I see this in the dmesg:
This one below is however the last thing of my dmesg. Between the messages above and below is a lot of other stuff of the startup...

I think the problem is somewhere in the iwconfig setting...
What has changed between the pre15 and the pre16 release ?

Oh crap! I have the same darn problem! This will be the third time I'm forced to restore from backup :( :( :( [very angry] On my system, baselayout-1.12.0_pre16-r1 works, but baselayout-1.12.0_pre16-r3 does not! To bad I can't simply re-emerge the old one.

Any idea how to use iwconfig and dhcpd to get it working? I'm trying, but dhcpd won't get me an address. Neither of which has been updated. This problem is a pain!
