I think it could be useful if you could provide clear instructions what you= =20 need exactly.=20 Even if it was once in a while referenced that there are tools for debuggin= g=20 there are no instructions how to use them and it is already hard to find th= em=20 and then when found there seems to be no readme and no help at all.=20 So since we are forced to guess how to use them then we are probably forced= to=20 guess results too ... I am also sure that the actual ath problems do have nothing to do with=20 powersaving features because they appear also when this features are turned= =20 off on both, the ap and the stations(all). the last modification regarding the mcast issue definitly made the driver=20 better and more stable but still it stops transmitting from time to time=20 without any usefull message and appearently it is related to some kind=20 broadcast traffic. It is no question of quantity, for example I can run=20 dhclient gain and again on one machine on the same network and I get an ath= =20 down and up event in messages what then sometimes causes tx to stop until I= =20 do manually ifconfig up. So since I am on my own here I simply block any ki= nd=20 of broadcast to the AP and the card stands. But if you could tell me what you exactly need to find out what it is it wo= uld=20 be easy for me to help because I have lots of this setups running. =2D-=20 Jo=E3o A mensagem foi scaneada pelo sistema de e-mail e pode ser considerada segura.
