I'm trying to figure out why my stations sometimes deauth for reason 4 (which I understand to mean 'inactivity'). I instrumented the hostapd logs a bit, and I see this the output below. Basically, there appears to be no inactivity problems, and as far as I can tell, hostapd isn't forcing the deauth, but is rather dealing with it from somewhere else. This is on latest wireless-testing, with ath9k as both VAP and Stations. Any ideas for where to look? 1294947307.409263: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:1c has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.409932: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:1b has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.412581: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:1a has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.413316: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:19 has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.417073: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:18 has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.417753: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:17 has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.418725: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:16 has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.421179: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:15 has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.423661: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:14 has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.424647: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:13 has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.428565: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:12 has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.431005: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:11 has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.431826: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:10 has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.434342: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:0f has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.435146: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:0e has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.442511: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:0d has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.443336: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:0c has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.445830: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:0b has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.446537: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:0a has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.449161: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:09 has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.450024: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:08 has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.455319: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:07 has been active 0 sec ago 1294947307.562973: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:cf:85 has been active 0 sec ago 1294947314.245006: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:03 has been active 0 sec ago 1294947314.245214: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:05 has been active 0 sec ago 1294947322.175976: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:2e has been active 0 sec ago 1294947325.635492: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:2f has been active 0 sec ago 1294947327.247077: vap0: Station: 00:76:56:76:01:03 has been active 0 sec ago 1294947374.830568: vap0: Station: 00:0c:42:61:00:02 has been active 0 sec ago 1294947577.430357: vap0: mgmt::deauth 1294947577.430418: vap0: deauthentication: STA=00:0c:42:61:00:1c reason_code=4 1294947577.430435: vap0: AP-STA-DISCONNECTED 00:0c:42:61:00:1c 1294947577.430473: 1294947577.430508: vap0: wpa_driver_nl80211_set_key: ifindex=15 alg=0 addr=0x95ab720 key_idx=0 set_tx=1 seq_len=0 key_len=0 1294947577.430527: vap0: addr=00:0c:42:61:00:1c The station machine has these wifi events printed: 2011-01-13 11:39:37.440 sta27 (phy #0): deauth 00:0c:42:61:00:1c -> 00:99:99:99:99:01 reason 4: Disassociated due to inactivity 2011-01-13 11:39:37.440 sta27 (phy #0): disconnected (local request) 2011-01-13 11:39:37.546 sta27 (phy #0): scan started 2011-01-13 11:39:37.743 sta27 (phy #0): scan finished: 2437, "" 2011-01-13 11:39:37.985 sta27 (phy #0): auth 00:99:99:99:99:01 -> 00:0c:42:61:00:1c status: 0: Successful 2011-01-13 11:39:38.003 sta27: new station 00:99:99:99:99:01 2011-01-13 11:39:38.145 sta27 (phy #0): assoc 00:99:99:99:99:01 -> 00:0c:42:61:00:1c status: 0: Successful 2011-01-13 11:39:38.145 sta27 (phy #0): connected to 00:99:99:99:99:01 Thanks, Ben -- Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com -- 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
