Hi list
I was surfing in the internet when suddenly the connection was lost. I
am going through a Wireless LAN with a rtl8187 based card(ASUS P5B
Deluxe WIFI board) into the internet and it often crashes ( round about
every 3 hours, but somedays it's running stable for a hole day)
iwconfig outputs the following:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"mehrtenswlan"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point:
00:1A:92:EA:73:12
Bit Rate=3D11 Mb/s
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=3D2346 B
Link Quality=3D45/64 Signal level=3D20/65
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
The Link Quality is changing a little bit but the Signal level stays
constantly at 20/65
A ping to a network device outputs the following:
ping 192.168.0.1
PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

stopping ping and restart it again outputs the following:

Because I often have this error and I can't reproduce it I changed the
mac80211 framework to debug mode:
and here is the dmesg output:

The log is full of these outputs.
I had this error more than 30 time for now, stating with the first
version of the mac80211 based rtl8187 driver.
Most times stopping the device and starting it again helps:
hauke@hauke:~$ sudo ifdown wlan0
Password:
hauke@hauke:~$ sudo ifup wlan0
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not support=
ed
WEXT auth param 5 value 0x1 - RTNETLINK answers: File exists
run-parts: /etc/network/if-up.d/avahi-autoipd exited with return code 2
But now it doesn't work so I have to restart the hole system and them i=
t
is working again.
I am using Ubuntu Feisty with vanilla kernel 2.6.23-rc3-git1 with
wpa_supplicant v0.6.0 and Wireless-Tools version 29
I want to connect to an ASUS WL-500g Premium with OpenWRT 0.9 on it.
