So, Now it has happened again. :-( I can conclude that a rmmod/modprobe cycle does not help. Some logs: At around noon, there was some hickup, from which we recovered: Mar 8 12:54:30 tippex wlan0: deauthenticated (Reason: 7) Mar 8 12:54:31 tippex wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:18:39:c0:5f:50 try 1 Mar 8 12:54:31 tippex wlan0 direct probe responded Mar 8 12:54:31 tippex wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:18:39:c0:5f:50 Mar 8 12:54:31 tippex wlan0: authenticated Mar 8 12:54:31 tippex wlan0: associate with AP 00:18:39:c0:5f:50 Mar 8 12:54:31 tippex wlan0: RX ReassocResp from 00:18:39:c0:5f:50 (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=1) Mar 8 12:54:31 tippex wlan0: associated The, at 15:18, we got the dreaded "No ProbeResp" again. Now I have a debugfs dump for that time as well: Mar 8 15:09:01 tippex cron[6326]: (root) CMD (cat /debugfs/ieee80211/phy0/rt2500pci/queue/queue | logger -t wlan_queue) Mar 8 15:09:02 tippex wlan_queue: qid count limit length index done crypto Mar 8 15:09:02 tippex wlan_queue: 14 0 24 51143 23 0 0 Mar 8 15:09:02 tippex wlan_queue: 0 4233 24 0 9 9 0 Mar 8 15:09:02 tippex wlan_queue: 1 1356551 24 0 23 23 0 Mar 8 15:09:02 tippex wlan_queue: 16 0 1 0 0 0 0 Mar 8 15:09:02 tippex wlan_queue: 17 0 8 0 0 0 0 Mar 8 15:10:01 tippex cron[6334]: (root) CMD (cat /debugfs/ieee80211/phy0/rt2500pci/queue/queue | logger -t wlan_queue) Mar 8 15:10:01 tippex wlan_queue: qid count limit length index done crypto Mar 8 15:10:01 tippex wlan_queue: 14 0 24 51854 14 0 0 Mar 8 15:10:01 tippex wlan_queue: 0 4235 24 0 11 11 0 Mar 8 15:10:01 tippex wlan_queue: 1 1356618 24 0 18 18 0 Mar 8 15:10:01 tippex wlan_queue: 16 0 1 0 0 0 0 Mar 8 15:10:01 tippex wlan_queue: 17 0 8 0 0 0 0 Mar 8 15:11:01 tippex cron[6362]: (root) CMD (cat /debugfs/ieee80211/phy0/rt2500pci/queue/queue | logger -t wlan_queue) Mar 8 15:11:01 tippex wlan_queue: qid count limit length index done crypto Mar 8 15:11:01 tippex wlan_queue: 14 0 24 52586 2 0 0 Mar 8 15:11:01 tippex wlan_queue: 0 4236 24 0 12 12 0 Mar 8 15:11:01 tippex wlan_queue: 1 1356712 24 0 16 16 0 Mar 8 15:11:01 tippex wlan_queue: 16 0 1 0 0 0 0 Mar 8 15:11:01 tippex wlan_queue: 17 0 8 0 0 0 0 Mar 8 15:12:01 tippex cron[6379]: (root) CMD (cat /debugfs/ieee80211/phy0/rt2500pci/queue/queue | logger -t wlan_queue) Mar 8 15:12:01 tippex wlan_queue: qid count limit length index done crypto Mar 8 15:12:01 tippex wlan_queue: 14 0 24 53363 11 0 0 Mar 8 15:12:01 tippex wlan_queue: 0 4237 24 0 13 13 0 Mar 8 15:12:01 tippex wlan_queue: 1 1356822 24 0 6 6 0 Mar 8 15:12:01 tippex wlan_queue: 16 0 1 0 0 0 0 Mar 8 15:12:01 tippex wlan_queue: 17 0 8 0 0 0 0 Mar 8 15:13:01 tippex cron[6386]: (root) CMD (cat /debugfs/ieee80211/phy0/rt2500pci/queue/queue | logger -t wlan_queue) Mar 8 15:13:01 tippex wlan_queue: qid count limit length index done crypto Mar 8 15:13:01 tippex wlan_queue: 14 0 24 54037 13 0 0 Mar 8 15:13:01 tippex wlan_queue: 0 4238 24 0 14 14 0 Mar 8 15:13:01 tippex wlan_queue: 1 1356876 24 0 12 12 0 Mar 8 15:13:01 tippex wlan_queue: 16 0 1 0 0 0 0 Mar 8 15:13:01 tippex wlan_queue: 17 0 8 0 0 0 0 Mar 8 15:14:01 tippex cron[6392]: (root) CMD (cat /debugfs/ieee80211/phy0/rt2500pci/queue/queue | logger -t wlan_queue) Mar 8 15:14:01 tippex wlan_queue: qid count limit length index done crypto Mar 8 15:14:01 tippex wlan_queue: 14 0 24 54762 18 0 0 Mar 8 15:14:01 tippex wlan_queue: 0 4239 24 0 15 15 0 Mar 8 15:14:01 tippex wlan_queue: 1 1356949 24 0 13 13 0 Mar 8 15:14:01 tippex wlan_queue: 16 0 1 0 0 0 0 Mar 8 15:14:01 tippex wlan_queue: 17 0 8 0 0 0 0 Mar 8 15:14:18 tippex wlan0: No ProbeResp from current AP 00:18:39:c0:5f:50 -
