So, perhaps, this > is the problem? I don't think so, those messages are usually an indicator for a successful connection. AP sends those as a 'hello, i'm still here' kinda thing. You should be able to supress those with 'wlandebug 0xffffffff -dumppkts'. If you can get debug output while the UPs/DOWNs happen, that would help a lot. -- Bernhard
