I'd love to be able to replicate this here :( I just wish I could reproduce it on demand. It's so erratic I can't help feeling the circumstances that make it happen are beyond my control (e.g. someone else's access point being powered on at that moment / hardware failure). It's happened in three different places (two houses and one University) with different access points (one old 802.11b AP doing WEP, enterprise 802.11g APs at the University doing WPA2 and a recently purchased ADSL modem/AP doing WPA2 again doing 802.11g). At all sites it has been possible to see multiple APs (although at the University it's most likely those APs are going to be on the same network/configured similarly). It only seems to happen while associated with an AP. It does not need the computer to have been suspend to happen. It can happen during the first connection to the AP (no need to have roamed). So far the issue has never occurred in the first 1000 seconds of being connected to an AP. One other thing I noticed was that one day I suspend and went home and I found the AP I was connected to was still showing up in iwlist scan even though it had been many hours (at least 10) since the last beacon had been received from that AP ("Extra: Last beacon:" had a very big value). The AP did not go away until after a reboot. -- Sitsofe | http://sucs.org/~sits/ -- 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
