I'm having trouble getting it to stay associated: [601369.845916] wlan0: associated [601377.106440] rtlwifi:rtl_watchdog_wq_callback():<0-0> AP off, try to reconnect now [601383.867706] wlan0: associated [601391.120270] rtlwifi:rtl_watchdog_wq_callback():<0-0> AP off, try to reconnect now [601397.910678] wlan0: associated [601405.141764] rtlwifi:rtl_watchdog_wq_callback():<0-0> AP off, try to reconnect now and so on. A different usb adapter (Ralink RT2573) has no trouble associating to that AP (but it keeps hanging and the kernel isn't always able to reset it properly). The network in question is using WPA2-PSK. Is there some setting I could adjust so that it would wait longer before deciding that the AP is off? Or something else I can do? This is on a 3.10-rc6 kernel + the __queue_work warning fix patch at https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-testing.git/patch/?id=1621c9466099faf21ad19738d54a7d1845a29b32.
