Hi All:

Just installed snv_101a, and Im having some issues with wireless connectivity 
using the ath driver.

The Setup:
OpenSolaris 2008.05 image updated to snv_101a.
ZFS RAID-Z pool sharing out CIFS and NFS to wireless clients in my house.
Wireless network using ath driver, WPA2-Personal using AES encryption at the 
Access Point, 802.11g/n mixed mode.

At first I had everything configured via NWAM, and all was well in the world 
when I was streaming low bandwidth video/audio. But when I decided to do 
backups to the shares (either NFS or CIFS), bandwidth would vary between 
1.5MB/s to --stalled-- then back to 1.5MB/s

/var/adm/messages shows

Nov 12 14:15:47 nevada mac: [ID 486395 kern.info] NOTICE: ath0 link down
Nov 12 14:15:49 nevada mac: [ID 744254 kern.info] NOTICE: ath0 link up

over and over, usually, for 1-2 seconds at a time. NWAM would try to refresh 
DHCP
on the interface, which would mean even more I/O holdup.

So I disable NWAM, statically configure the ath0 interface via dladm/ifconfig, 
which stopped the DHCP refreshes, but hasnt stopped the link flapping.

I ran APGrapher on my Mac client, and it doesn't seem that the clients drop 
from the network during the file transfers, just the server. 

The AP records the following it its logs:
Wireless system with MAC address 0014A5D58768 associated
Wireless system with MAC address 0014A5D58768 disconnected for reason: Received 
Deauthentication.


Any ideas?
