Comment (by Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>):
I have the same problem here.
My wireless connections drops within several hours when I'm using madwifi
version 1:0.9.4~rc2-1 on Linux kernel versions 2.6.24-6 and 2.6.25-3. I'm
running Debian lenny.
When I run version 1:0.9.3.2-2 on Linux kernel version 2.6.22-6, the
connection will stay up indefinitely.
I see there's a variable I can eliminate: let me go recompile madwfi 0.9.4
on 2.6.22 and report back in a day or two. On the other hand, I'm not
optimistic since the OP was using 0.9.3 and that dropped the connection
too so it would speak to a kernel change in 2.6.24 that madwifi needs to
address. In the meantime, if someone could suggest (easy) debugging
techniques that would help you folks, please let us know.
To the original poster: you don't have to reboot, just run "ifdown ath0;
ifup ath0" (translated to Mandriva). Or switch to a pre-2.6.24 kernel.
