The connection is pretty flaky in b43 on wireless-testing. There seems to be some rekeying issue. See the log below and notice the dropped packets after the rekeying. Note that I have a short rekeying interval on my AP, so rekeying happens often. Any ideas? Possible bug in mac80211? Does somebody see this with other hardware?
