I think some key interval applies not only to the TKIP, but also other keys. For example GTK (which is part of WPA2 with it's 4-way handshake). GTK is Group Temporal Key, and Broadcom's router have a setting called "GTK rotation interval". I guess PMK/PTK also can have some intervals. I don't know how/if driver can be responsible for such reconnects. Over all it just TX and RX packets, right? Loosing a signal is something different, that can be related to the driver's bug. But as this happens every 5 minutes... I don't know. Did you try connecting to this AP with any other card and using similar kernel? I wonder if this can be some supplicant / mac80211 stack issue... -- Rafał -- 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
