List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2013 02:01:52 -0000 I have an older model of the model mentioned in the subject line, and it loses its wireless connection every few days, requiring a reboot to bring it back. This has happened since I had the machine, starting with FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE, though I've since upgraded a couple of times, and am now at 9.1-RELEASE Is there any info out there on what I can do to keep the connection? I don't use the machine heavily - it sits on my nightstand for light web browsing before I sleep, mostly, so it's a bit annoying to have to reboot before I can get to the web. Here's what info I'm able to glean from the machine: % dmesg | grep -i ath ath0: mem 0x95100000-0x9510ffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1 ath0: AR2425 mac 14.2 RF5424 phy 7.0 alc0: mem 0x93000000-0x9303ffff irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci3 atphy0: PHY 0 on miibus0 % ifconfig ath0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 2290 ether 00:26:5e:2f:de:32 nd6 options=29 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g status: associated alc0: flags=8802 metric 0 mtu 1500 options=c3198 ether 00:23:5a:ed:bd:56 nd6 options=29 media: Ethernet autoselect lo0: flags=8049 metric 0 mtu 16384 options=600003 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x8 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 nd6 options=21 wlan0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:26:5e:2f:de:32 inet 192.168.151.103 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.151.255 nd6 options=29 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/48Mbps mode 11g status: associated ssid 5705NE197th channel 11 (2462 MHz 11g) bssid 00:23:69:82:b2:bf regdomain 101 indoor ecm authmode WPA privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF AES-CCM 2:128-bit AES-CCM 3:128-bit txpower 20 bmiss 7 scanvalid 450 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi 7 roam:rate 5 protmode CTS wme burst roaming MANUAL Thanks, Kurt
