I got a quite reproducible bug with mac80211. Sometimes, this happens (phy0 is a b43 PHY): Nov 7 02:06:23 morte [123784.591945] wlan0: No ProbeResp from current AP 00:14:c1:35:8d:eb - assume out of range Nov 7 02:06:23 morte [123784.591968] phy0: Removed STA 00:14:c1:35:8d:eb then, instead of trying to reassociate, mac80211 acts like this: Nov 7 02:06:25 morte [123785.138041] wlan0: dropped data frame to not associated station 00:14:c1:35:8d:eb Nov 7 02:06:25 morte [123785.138243] wlan0: dropped data frame to not associated station 00:14:c1:35:8d:eb Nov 7 02:06:55 morte [123798.704732] wlan0: No STA entry for own AP 00:14:c1:35:8d:eb I guess that's a mac80211 bug. I'll be happy to provide you with more testing. -- Ciao Stefano - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
