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
[http://www.gizmoproject.com/index.html Gizmo], 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 [wiki:StuckBeacon stuck beacon problem], 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 #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:
