Just to make sure I understood this correctly.. Does this happen with just a single association station (your laptop)? What are you referring to with a "session"? Just another program using network (i.e., no new wireless associations, etc.)? As far as the ath9k driver is concerned, new applications (e.g., new TCP connection) should not really matter much.. If you have IEEE 802.11n enabled, could you please run a test with it disabled to make sure this is not related to frame aggregation? As far as getting any output from the system is concerned, the next step could be to see if NMI watchdog would be able to provide any help. Please take a look at Documentation/nmi_watchdog.txt in the kernel source code and see if you could use that on the AP to get some output when the system hangs (running without X on console to make sure you see the output). -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA -- 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
