One more data point : - when I am at home, without any access restriction nor encryption, ath works perfectly right without any limit. - when I am at work, on my campus network with encryption (see my ~/.wpaconf file in the previous mail), connectivity stops after some delay. This morning, I worked during about 30 mins before being stopped, and I got the strange "list scan" result. vagabond$ /sbin/ifconfig ath0 ath0: flags=3D8843 metric 0 mtu 15= 00 ether 00:0b:cd:5b:ed:70 inet6 fe80::20b:cdff:fe5b:ed70%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet6 2001:660:2402:1001:20b:cdff:fe5b:ed70 prefixlen 64 autoconf media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps) status: no carrier ssid osiris-lab channel 8 (2447 Mhz 11g) authmode WPA privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF txpowmax 30 bmiss 7 scanvalid 60 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi11g 14 roam:rate11g 5 protmode CTS burst roaming MANUAL bintval 96 vagabond$ /sbin/ifconfig -v ath0 list scan SSID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N I= NT CAPS osiris 00:11:20:1b:25:40 1 54M -74:-92 9= 6 ES WME osiris-lab 00:11:20:1b:25:41 1 54M -74:-92 9= 6 EPS WPA RSN WME osiris-sec 00:11:20:1b:25:42 1 54M -74:-92 9= 6 EPS WPA RSN WME osiris 00:11:20:1b:33:b0 11 54M -80:-91 9= 6 ES WME osiris-lab 00:11:20:1b:33:b1 11 54M -81:-91 9= 6 EPS WPA RSN WME osiris-sec 00:11:20:1b:33:b2 11 54M -81:-91 9= 6 EPS WPA RSN WME osiris 00:12:01:bf:86:80 6 54M -83:-89 9= 6 ES WME Pierre
