Hi,
I have occasional device timeout from urtwn on my ThinkPad T440 with usb
wifi dongle.
All I get in dmesg is:
urtwn0: device timeout
ifconfig still shows it as associated:
urtwn0: flags=28c43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,OACTIVE,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NOINET6> mtu
1500
lladdr 6c:19:8f:b3:98:02
priority: 4
groups: wlan egress
media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (OFDM54 mode 11g)
status: active
ieee80211: nwid somessid chan 6 bssid 24:a4:3c:65:ca:f7 180dB wpakey
<not displayed> wpaprotos wpa1,wpa2 wpaakms psk wpaciphers tkip,ccmp
wpagroupcipher tkip
inet 10.90.7.15 netmask 0xffffff80 broadcast 10.90.7.127
I can ping local IP address, but nothing else.
Little blue light on the adapter is on during times of outage.
netstart restores the connection for a few seconds, after which it
drops again.
Re-inserting usb dongle followed by netstart re-estabilishes
connection for a longer period. I noticed that dongle was quite
hot when I removed it.
I don't know if it is related, but I had similar problem with
integrated wifi adapter on linux with iwlwifi driver. It would
wander off to AP with worse signal, or just stop transmitting.
I'd have to turn adapter off and on in order to restore the
connection.
Any good people out there to help me out with this?
