Comment (by anonymous):
I wonder, how hard it would be to implement this "hang-detection", like in
ubiquiti's firmware
kernel log shows:
{{{
AR8032 Hang WAR - Fast Reset...
AR8032 Hang WAR - PHY Reset...
AR8023 Hang WAR - Complete.
}}}
which means, they reset the ethernet tranceiver chip directly, once the
link is gone... this rather indicates a hardware bug, as a bug in the
driver
i also tried to get a patch from ubiquiti's firmware developers, but got
zero reaction :( it's also not included in the gpl archive
so... as i'm not a kernel hacker, i can only hope that someone will find
some time to look at the datasheet
(http://www.datasheet4u.com/datasheet/A/R/8/AR8032-Atheros.pdf.html), and
implement sth. similar...
[or maybe force ubiquiti to release a proper gpl tarball?]
my conclusion: don't buy those newer nanostation's loco m xw devices,
they're buggy
