Hi, During the Chaos Communication Camp a week ago - probably a very stressful environment for wifi drivers - I experienced a couple of wifi hangups a day. Trying to simply reconnect with iw or a network manager did not help. Rebooting solved the issue. During hangup the following trace appeared in dmesg: ----- [ 822.795889] wlan0: authentication with ac:a3:1e:d9:5d:d0 timed out [ 836.219094] wlan0: authenticate with 6c:f3:7f:ec:e9:d0 [ 836.386110]
