iwlagn: possible regressions from 2.6.29 in 2.6.30

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Two things I liked about iwlagn in 2.6.29 no longer happen with 2.6.30:

1. reassociation following resume from suspend-to-ram
2. transmission of packets > 250 bytes following resume from suspend-to-ram

I can script around the first problem just by doing "iwconfig wlan0 ap
auto" on resume, but the second problem requires me to ifdown/ifup wlan0
before I can usefully use my network again, so fixing the first problem
doesn't get me very far.

When I say "packets > 250 bytes" I mean 250-byte packets as claimed by
"ping -s 222 mygateway":

        PING cornelius.lan (10.2.4.1) 222(250) bytes of data.

The above will work, but "ping -s 223 cornelius" yields no replies.

I am using a Wireless WiFi Link 5300 [8086:4236] in a ThinkPad X200.

In both cases I was using Debian kernels, although they don't seem to
have included any changes to iwlagn.
