Playing with it a bit more this morning. Looks like the connection from wireless adapter to my AP drops periodically. Sometimes it recovers (sometimes after several attempts), sometimes it does not. Seems to be very random: # egrep 'authent|associat' /var/log/debug Jan 6 08:00:54 toporko kernel: [ 47.570810] wlan0: authenticate with 00:1e:52:79:e9:ff (try 1) Jan 6 08:00:54 toporko kernel: [ 47.571321] wlan0: authenticated Jan 6 08:00:56 toporko kernel: [ 49.174175] wlan0: associate with 00:1e:52:79:e9:ff (try 1) Jan 6 08:00:56 toporko kernel: [ 49.175536] wlan0: associated Jan 6 08:06:01 toporko kernel: [ 354.230874] wlan0: authenticate with 00:1e:52:79:e9:ff (try 1) Jan 6 08:06:01 toporko kernel: [ 354.231364] wlan0: authenticated Jan 6 08:06:01 toporko kernel: [ 354.236066] wlan0: associate with 00:1e:52:79:e9:ff (try 1) Jan 6 08:06:01 toporko kernel: [ 354.236865] wlan0: associated Jan 6 08:09:36 toporko kernel: [ 569.868923] wlan0: authenticate with 00:1e:52:79:e9:ff (try 1) Jan 6 08:09:36 toporko kernel: [ 569.869416] wlan0: authenticated Jan 6 08:09:36 toporko kernel: [ 569.873736] wlan0: associate with 00:1e:52:79:e9:ff (try 1) Jan 6 08:09:36 toporko kernel: [ 569.874507] wlan0: associated Jan 6 08:09:46 toporko kernel: [ 579.233563] wlan0: authenticate with 00:1e:52:79:e9:ff (try 1) Jan 6 08:09:46 toporko kernel: [ 579.235574] wlan0: authenticated Jan 6 08:09:46 toporko kernel: [ 579.240737] wlan0: associate with 00:1e:52:79:e9:ff (try 1) Jan 6 08:09:46 toporko kernel: [ 579.241518] wlan0: associated Jan 6 08:09:57 toporko kernel: [ 590.830933] wlan0: authenticate with 00:1e:52:79:e9:ff (try 1) Jan 6 08:09:57 toporko kernel: [ 590.831435] wlan0: authenticated Jan 6 08:09:57 toporko kernel: [ 590.839102] wlan0: associate with 00:1e:52:79:e9:ff (try 1) Jan 6 08:09:57 toporko kernel: [ 590.839881] wlan0: associated Jan 6 08:21:29 toporko kernel: [ 1282.823289] wlan0: authenticate with 00:1e:52:79:e9:ff (try 1) Jan 6 08:21:29 toporko kernel: [ 1282.823783] wlan0: authenticated Jan 6 08:21:29 toporko kernel: [ 1282.828990] wlan0: associate with 00:1e:52:79:e9:ff (try 1) Jan 6 08:21:29 toporko kernel: [ 1282.830132] wlan0: associated Jan 6 08:25:30 toporko kernel: [ 1523.433931] wlan0: authenticate with 00:1e:52:79:e9:ff (try 1) Jan 6 08:25:30 toporko kernel: [ 1523.434930] wlan0: authenticated Jan 6 08:25:30 toporko kernel: [ 1523.439868] wlan0: associate with 00:1e:52:79:e9:ff (try 1) Jan 6 08:25:30 toporko kernel: [ 1523.440652] wlan0: associated So far, it managed to re-connect every time. Though, I'm rather sure if I leave it long enough, the last night's case of connection dropped completely would repeat sooner or later (even last night, there were some connect/disconnect events before connection was dropped permanently). The AP reports signal from wireless card between -70 and -75dB, noise at -96dB, and speed at 120mbps (with occasional drop to 45mbps). These numbers sound about OK for the location (on the other side of my apartment, few walls in between). For comparison, if I position my MacBook at same location (right next to my Linux box), AP reports signal from its AirPort card at about -60dB and speed in about 100mbps range and no drops. -- 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
