The problem I am having is that after several hours (eg 12-24+) the atheros= =20 card will stop sending packets (or maybe receiving them) and I end up with= =20 ping complaining that the host is down (as well as openvpn). I can fix the= =20 link by doing ifconfig ath0 down ; ifconfig ath0 up. The link is 'bare' - ie no WEP or WPA, it only transmits OpenVPN's UDP pack= ets=20 in the clear. current# ifconfig ath0 ath0: flags=3D8843 mtu 1500 inet 10.0.2.1 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 10.255.255.255 ether 00:00:8c:00:72:e0 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (OFDM/54Mbps) status: associated ssid APOCAE6B channel 6 bssid 00:00:8c:00:79:5b authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 32 protmode CTS bintval 100 I am dumb and just fixed the link before running some tests but next time i= t=20 happens I will run tcpdump and see if any traffic is being received. I have also seen 'ifconfig ath0 scan' cause the interface to break (ie not= =20 tx/rx packets) and a down/up fixed it, but it was not repeatable nor am I=20 sure it is related to this problem. =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart3519987.f5jZNxYgI9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBDVEl25ZPcIHs/zowRAgfKAKCNSdrO2enjGyTvu24pz9kVzL7/IgCeLpB0 OMY/nVTJyJkqw9LZOlNhhlI= =sAEn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart3519987.f5jZNxYgI9--
