My WLAN net goes down from time to time. I cannot ping the wlan/dsl-router (T-Sinus 111) and the only thing that helps is re-load the kernel-driver (ifconfig eth1 down; modprobe -r orinoco_pci; sleep 8; ifconfig eth1 up; iwconfig ...) Changing speed (down to 1 Mb/s) does no better Bisides this, I have annother problem: This f***ing router mentioned above cannot handle at least one connection per second in the long run (>30 minutes) and crashes in the way, that it still may be pinged, but I cannot access the router's web-interface, nor can I get to the internet and have to power-cyle it (official advice from the company selling it!) I tried hard to see these problems as one, but it seems, they ARE two (see logs) Here is, what I can offer you as info: WLAN is a Netgear PCI MA311 (using hermes, orinoco) # iwconfig eth1 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"WLAN" Nickname:"jim" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437GHz Access Point: 00:30:F1:xx:xx:xx Bit Rate:11Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Sensitivity:1/3 Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:xxxx-xxxx-xx Security mode:open Power Management:off Link Quality:20/92 Signal level:-76 dBm Noise level:-136 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:1 Tx excessive retries:2 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 # ping -c 5 router PING wlan-router (192.168.2.1): 56 data bytes --- wlan-router ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss # uname -a Linux laura 2.4.22 #2 Sun Dec 21 17:14:01 MET 2003 i686 unknown # lsmod Module Size Used by orinoco_pci 3056 1 (autoclean) orinoco 31808 0 (autoclean) [orinoco_pci] hermes 5232 0 (autoclean) [orinoco_pci orinoco] [...] ---{ /var/log/warn }---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mar 5 15:41:43 laura kernel: eth1: Error -110 writing Tx descriptor to BAP Mar 5 15:42:15 laura last message repeated 59 times Mar 5 15:42:22 laura last message repeated 12 times [...] Mar 5 15:44:34 laura kernel: eth1: error -110 reading info frame.
