I still have the same problem I've always had with ath9k: the AP stops passing traffic after a short time. There is never anything useful in the logs. Why is this? Am I the only one? Here is quite seriously my entire hostapd log: Jan 15 13:49:10 mango hostapd: wlan0: STA 04:1e:64:ec:22:eb IEEE 802.11: authenticated Jan 15 13:49:10 mango hostapd: wlan0: STA 04:1e:64:ec:22:eb IEEE 802.11: associated (aid 1) Jan 15 13:49:10 mango hostapd: wlan0: STA 04:1e:64:ec:22:eb RADIUS: starting accounting session 4B50E288-00000000 Jan 15 16:45:40 mango hostapd: wlan0: STA 04:1e:64:ec:22:eb IEEE 802.11: disassociated Jan 15 16:45:41 mango hostapd: wlan0: STA 04:1e:64:ec:22:eb IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to inactivity Nothing relevant. 16:45 was when I switched to my other AP because packets weren't being forwarded any more. There's nothing in dmesg either: [ 9.533427] cfg80211: World regulatory domain updated: [ 9.536872] (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp) [ 9.543353] (2402000 KHz - 2472000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) [ 9.547313] (2457000 KHz - 2482000 KHz @ 20000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) [ 9.549684] (2474000 KHz - 2494000 KHz @ 20000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) [ 9.554838] (5170000 KHz - 5250000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) [ 9.558822] (5735000 KHz - 5835000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) [ 11.544221] ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x37 [ 11.544235] ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a direct regpair map [ 11.544253] ath: Country alpha2 being used: AW [ 11.544266] ath: Regpair used: 0x37 [ 11.585594] phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'ath9k_rate_control' [ 11.589998] Registered led device: ath9k-phy0::radio [ 11.593009] Registered led device: ath9k-phy0::assoc [ 11.596903] Registered led device: ath9k-phy0::tx [ 11.602215] Registered led device: ath9k-phy0::rx [ 11.606128] phy0: Atheros AR9280 Rev:2 mem=0xd0d00000, irq=11 [ 11.611776] cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: AW [ 12.563347] loop: module loaded [ 13.952093] Bridge firewalling registered [ 14.051828] device eth0 entered promiscuous mode [ 14.166584] eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1 [ 14.206389] device wlan0 entered promiscuous mode [ 14.485841] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready [ 14.510399] br0: port 1(eth0) entering learning state [ 24.524396] eth0: no IPv6 routers present [ 25.080428] br0: no IPv6 routers present [ 29.512687] br0: port 1(eth0) entering forwarding state [ 37.339576] br0: port 2(wlan0) entering disabled state [ 37.462156] br0: port 2(wlan0) entering learning state [ 47.910012] wlan0: no IPv6 routers present [ 52.466568] br0: port 2(wlan0) entering forwarding state Is there something wrong with the bridge code in 2.6.30?
