Comment (by anonymous):
Sorry, I don't have such a this nice phone. :(
anyway, (it's probalby just a wild guess but)
{{{
13:37:58 ath0: [CLIENT] power save mode on, 1 sta's in ps mode
13:37:58 router kernel: ath0: [CLIENT] save frame, 1 now queued
13:37:58 router kernel: ath0: [SERVER] ieee80211_beacon_update: TIM
updated, pending 1, off 0, len 1
13:37:58 router kernel: ath0: [CLIENT] save frame, 2 now queued
13:37:58 router kernel: ath0: [CLIENT] power save mode off, 0 sta's in ps
mode
13:37:58 router kernel: ath0: [CLIENT] flush ps queue, 2 packets queued
}}}
so, can you tell me what TIMs are ( I googled for it, but TIM is a very
common Name!) ? since, I've a slight suspicion, that _all_ packages which
went into the power-save queue _after_ the TIM update are dropped)
BTW... I've seen another thing: with 80211stats
{{{
545 rx discard due to it's a dup
45 rx frame ssid mismatch
"214 rx fast frames"
1 tx failed due to no defkey
15 tx atheros fast frames successful
1 nodes timed out inactivity
}}}
whenever I lost a package, the _rx discard due to_ "rx fast frames" count
increases!
see:
{{{
546 rx discard due to
45 rx frame ssid mismatch
"215 rx fast frames"
1 tx failed due to no defkey
16 tx atheros fast frames successful
1 nodes timed out inactivity
