I did not test this patch, but I was having wifi trouble that wmiconfig -i eth0 --power maxperf seems to have fixed. I don't *think* these were association problems though -- at least I didn't see that in the log. What was happening for me is that I got a lease and could do dns lookups but could not ping the gateway or any other host -- there would be one ping attempt that did not return. If I left it run long enough, there would eventually be a few successful ones, but we're talking like 5+ minutes for that to happen. Often times despite not being able to ping out I could ping the FR from another machine on the local network. This is with eth0 being the only interface other than lo up, and with a route table identical to the working route table on my laptop on the same network. Anyway, with maxperf, it's working fine now. This is on a Debian system using andy-tracking. -- -John Sullivan -http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/User:JohnSullivan -GPG Key: AE8600B6 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
