post a chunk of syslog recorded while these events occur (link ok, data flow, link lost, link ok, ... etc). Perhaps even better if you manage to enable ath5k debug. As a basic visible monitor, in a terminal keep a ping(1) to some stable node beyond the AP (or the AP itself) running; check 'time' param fluctuations. If it's the hw going to sleep if no data flows, then the ping could keep it up. > Searching for answers have only led me to people suggesting that ATH5K > be blacklisted, and that the Madwifi driver be used (it worked very well try that, if you can. That'd tell (likely) whether it's ath5k's or some (net) daemon's issue. Note, I don't use Gnome's NM, so can't provide hints there - I'm sure other will chime in. -- paolo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
