Hi there, My ath0 wireless interface is going crazy lately. In my logs the kernel keeps telling me May 28 01:26:28 greg ath0: link state changed to UP May 28 01:26:28 greg ath0: link state changed to UP May 28 01:26:28 greg ath0: link state changed to DOWN May 28 01:26:28 greg ath0: link state changed to DOWN while the wireless connection becomes completely useless. The first time this happened was 5 days ago when I got these messages every couple of minutes. Today it happened again but much worse than before: First 4 such messages every 3 seconds, then later 15/sec!!! This kept going for almost 2 hours while I tried to debug things over the wired interface, but I had no luck until miraculously it stopped its madness and came back to normal 15 min ago. No other hints in /var/log/messages... This this a sign of failing hardware? Or some other obscure bug in the ath driver? My signal is pretty solid at 25-30 S:N btw so it can't be that... Gunther
