Hi experts!
I am working with a "Linksys WMP54G Wireless-G PCI Adapter" under
OpenBSD 4.1. When I launch "dhclient ral0" it works perfectly (or assign
directly and ip address using ifconfig). However the problem arrive some
seconds later, that are changed the flags from "ral0:
flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>" to "ral0:
flags=8c43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,OACTIVE,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>" and the
wireless card does not continue working. I need then to launch "ifconfig
ral0 down && dhclient ral0" (or assign the IP using ifconfig).
Is this a known issue? is a possible bug? or should I force some
specific parameters in my wireless card?
Below included ifconfig when the wireless card is working correctly and
some seconds/minutes later when it does not work:
