Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Further testing results:[[br]]Setting ''iwpriv ath0 bmiss 100'' helped
reduce the disassociations for a while, but after a couple of hours they
returned.[[br]]I tried all of the available ratectl options, and only
minstrel and sample are actually able to associate with my
network.[[br]]Setting the ratectl algo on the AP to sample instead of
minstrel seems to have helped things.[[br]]After running ''echo 0 >
/proc/sys/dev/wifi0/diversity'' I was able to stay associated for several
consecutive hours. Eventually the disassociations returned, and the only
remedy was to reboot the computer. This seems to work best when combined
with ''iwpriv ath0 bmiss 100''.[[br]]The sample ratectl algo does not
experience a kernel panic even after an extended period of constant
disassociations, so it appears that the panic aspect of this bug is
isolated to minstrel.
