So the nice thing about using the built-in wl1835 mac address, on "first" bootup it saves around 30 seconds. With the old mac, we'd have to read it, +1/etc to the value, patch the firmware, update the initramfs, then load the module.. With the new mac method, the kernel knows how to load it from the wl1835.. (the trick was patching the firmware with a mac of 00:00...00 and the kernel knew what to do, it just wasn't documented very well) On 2nd/3rd/++ boot no change. > > Any insight or ideas where to look on the continued dropped connection > problem?

This might be power-managment related.. i'd try: sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off Regards, -- Robert Nelson https://rcn-ee.com/ -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
