Did you ever have similar issues, or is something > wonky with my machine? Well, my experience varied with time and also with the AP used. I had no real problems with a Linksys WRT54G with original firmware v2.2. And this in spite of the fact that there are walls made of concrete in this flat. By contrast, I *did* have major problems with an SMC AP, but that may have just as well been the AP, because a ral(4) based card also made a poor showing there (even under windows in another machine). I most certainly did not have to change the send/recvbuf_max. I did not recall real issues with bgscan either (although I tried to turn it off with the SMC AP, but that did not help). However, I never tried roaming in any configuration, and there never were more APs working at the same time. Also, I use WPA2 and configured the card to very specifically scan for, and associate with, only the one AP that I was using, so scanning may not have been such a bother. > I'll see if I can't grab some more hardware to test with to rule out > hardware failure or a broken install on my part. I would have also suggested wlandebug. Also, if you use wpa_supplicant, you can use the -d switch to get debug output. To be honest, I did not try enabling the debugging under iwi, so have no experience if it works. Will try it just for kicks, and report back if it also panics for me. -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Budapest Hungary
