Which driver? How is that stuff configured? wpa_supplicant involved? Try running it with debug messages enabled. We need to figure out what entity is causing the device to go down/up, this can either be wpa_supplicant or net80211 (or a cronjob calling ifconfig down/up every 18 minutes ;). The appropriate debug options enabled (wlandebug 0x or wpa_supplicant with -dd) should reveal that. -- Bernhard ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
wlan0 going UP/DOWN problem
It seems some recent change (as in the last 7-10 days) has caused an instability in wlan0. Just a small excerpt from /var/log/messages, Dec 4 18:54:16 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to UP Dec 4 19:11:16 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to DOWN Dec 4 19:11:16 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to UP Dec 4 19:19:46 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to DOWN Dec 4 19:19:46 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to UP Dec 4 19:37:01 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to DOWN Dec 4 19:37:01 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to UP Dec 4 19:45:31 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to DOWN Dec 4 19:45:31 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to UP Dec 4 19:54:01 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to DOWN Dec 4 19:54:01 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to UP Dec 4 20:11:16 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to DOWN Dec 4 20:11:16 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to UP Dec 4 20:19:46 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to DOWN Dec 4 20:19:46 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to UP Dec 4 20:36:46 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to DOWN Dec 4 20:36:46 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to UP Dec 4 20:45:16 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to DOWN Dec 4 20:45:16 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to UP Dec 4 20:53:46 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to DOWN Dec 4 20:53:46 laptop kernel: wlan0: link state changed to UP So, every 18 minutes the devices is going DOWN/UP. :-/ -- Steve ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
