Hello, Here is the console log from an instance when my carl9170-based AP was stuck in a bad state. The "Dhcp:" messages are from my user-level application and are merely informative. Any ideas on what could have caused so many "device restarts"? The AP was unusable for ~10 min and fixed itself after that. Is the failed channel change an indication?
