From my experience, this is not a FR bug, but an AP bug : some AP do not work good with power managed client. On my lab, at the university and in my LUG, the wifi work without swiching off the power management. But at home, I need to toggling off power management. With power management, it is difficult to have an IP by DHCP, and pinging the router make between 70-80% of lost packets. My Nintendo DS do not work with this router too. I experiment wifi problem when loosing link, that can only be fixed by a reboot. It is not great when roaming...

In some cases, you're doing better than some of us. At least you can reconnect without a reboot :) > is there a possible solution to this problem ? I don't think so, I've tried most of everything with varied success/failures. I think we're waiting for it to be fixed. Apparently some people need to do iwconfig eth0 power off to even get an association.

Wlan Issues after inactivity
Hello, i want to ask if there are other users having the same issues? If i do an ifup eth0, then i start some updates or installs (apt-get install or opkg install ...) everything works fine. if some time passes by and after some minutes i install another thing or do wget something, then the downloads doesn't start. ping to the sites is still working. if i do an ifdown eth0 and ifup eth0, i can download again, experiencing after some minutes the same issue. is there a possible solution to this problem ? thanks vale -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Wlan-Issues-after-inactivity-tp1109625p1109625.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
