Hm, it'd be good to see driver debugging. It'd be good there to see if the actual auth frames are being exchanged and ACKed at the MAC level or not.
I've seen some pretty crappy behaviours both with how some APs wanna try band steering (by dropping you off 2g when they see you've sent a probe on 5g) and just crappy 2g behaviour in congested networks. It'd be nice to know which this is. -a On Wed, 13 Feb 2019 at 22:54, Christian Barthel <b...@online.de> wrote: > Christian Barthel <b...@online.de> writes: > > > Hello, > > > > I am using FreeBSD 11.2 on a Thinkpad X230 (dmesg attached).
