#1775: Nokia E51 in powersave-mode becomes unusable after a short time with Madwifi as AP -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: anonymous | Type: defect Status: new | Priority: major Component: madwifi: driver | Version: v0.9.3.3 Keywords: | Patch_attached: 0 -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- I have an access point running on Linux 2.6.22-gentoo-r9 with madwifi-ng 0.9.3.3. Lately I bought a Nokia E51 cell phone which has WLAN integrated. After a short time browsing the web, page loading became very slow. With the phone comes the VoIP-application www.gizmoproject.com/index.html, which wasn't able to connect at all to its server over WLAN. I switched off power-saving in the phone and suddenly everything worked fast and Gizmo could connect to its service. A reboot of the AP also makes the phone (in powersave-mode) work perfectly - this solution only lasts for about five minutes though.
Considering power saving in clients and getting worse over time, it looked to me like the madwifi.org/wiki/StuckBeacon, but I can't find any error messages about it in my logs neither can I say that my interrups go higher (they stay at around 40 per second). I tried all the fixes on the Stuck Beacon page and in ticket madwifi.org/ticket/1081 - nothing helped and running the phone without power-save mode is no option as the battery then is empty in less than half a day. Other clients don't seem to be affected, it's only the mobile phone that can't use network connectivity any more - and switching it to 'no powersaving' while the problem exists solves it. Unloading all modules and reloading/restarting networking and hostapd didn't help either. btw - I found reports from people having the same problems with Zyxel or Linksys routers: www.allaboutsymbian.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50908 -- Ticket URL: <http://madwifi.org/ticket/1775> madwifi.org <http://madwifi.org/> Multiband Atheros Driver for Wireless Fidelity ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
