Unfortunately, I see similar symptoms with two ral(4) based cards ( Conceptronic C54RC) in two laptops, one running 6.0-BETA, the other 7.0-CURRENT, both from 16th July. I have not yet been able to determine under what conditions the random dissassociations occur, but no network traffic is one way to more reliably trigger it. After the disassociation occurs, wpa_supplicant starts scanning, even finds the AP a couple of times, but fails to reassociate until killed and restarted. The AP is a Linksys WRT54G with original Linksys firmware, and I am using a WPA-PSK-based setup. Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Budapest, Hungary
