WEP security is used. Nothing gets logged in system log. Repeating the command 'ifconfig wlan0 ssid "my-ssid" weptxkey 1 deftxkey 1 wepmode on wepkey 0xXXXXXXXXXX up' restores connection. Its possible (although I don't know for sure) that WiFi router is rebooted at this time. But this shouldn't cause it to disconnect. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
