You can find it at Thanks > http://troutmask.apl.washington.edu/~kargl/wlan0.msg wlan0: AMRR decreasing rate 48 (txcnt=35 retrycnt=14) wlan0: recv deauthenticate (reason 2) wlan0: ieee80211_new_state_locked: RUN -> AUTH (nrunning 0 nscanning 0) I've seen those before, though, I never figured out if there is a way to bypass that. What's happening here is that the AP detects that you've ben idle (as in not sending frames) for quite a while (the rate decrease does indicate that) and kicks you with a 'auth no longer valid' message. This seems to be a 'feature' of your AP and not an issue with the driver, at least I do not see any connection. As a workaround try to ping something behind the AP. -- Bernhard
