Hi List!
I've got a really annoying problem with my wireless connection from my
FreeBSD Gateway to the WAN-router (Yes, the gateway connect to the WAN
via wireless :(. ). The setup works fine until the carrier is lost
(maybe weak signal), then it refuses to pick the connection up again,
resulting in a non-working gateway. Then I have to flush ipfw, dhclient
ath0 and restart natd to make it all work again. If I keep the
connection busy (i.e. ping -i 5 gateway), it all works fine, no carrier
is lost. Shouldn't it be possible for the setup to regain carrier
automatically when it's lost?
My setup:
1:
rc.conf:
gateway_enable=YES
dhclient_program=/sbin/dhclient
dhclient_flags=
firewall_enable=YES
firewall_script=/etc/rc.firewall
firewall_type=OPEN
natd_enable=YES
natd_interface=ath0
natd_flags=-f /etc/natd.conf (same_ports yes - use_sockets yes -
dynamic yes)
ifconfig_ath0=ssid ZyXEL DHCP wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:0x.
2:
ipfw list: (not safe, just temporary)
50 divert 8668 ip from any to any via ath0
100 allow ip from any to any
3: Hardware
The ath0 card is a D-Link DWL-G520
The router is a ZyXEL P-320 (no turbomode etc)
As I said, the setup works flawless util the carrier is lost and ath0 is
unable to regain carrier. I've tried freebsd-mobile, but it seems
fairly idle.
Thanks in advance,
Regards
J
