Re: wireless losing connection periodically

2008-02-04 Thread Reinis Ivanovs
hello,

I'm surprised that no one replied, but anyway, just an update: it
seems I've managed to resolve the problem with this short ifstated(8)
config:

==
# loglevel debug

ping = '(ping -q -c 1 -t 1 192.168.1.1  /dev/null every 10)'

state one {
if !$ping
set-state two
}

state two {
init {
run logger -p console.notice -t ifstated 'Restarting network!'
run /etc/rc.d/netif restart ral0
}
if $ping
set-state one
}
==

that's about it.

cheers,
reinis

 hello,

 I've noticed that my wireless connection tends to drop once in a while
 and only restores itself after a relatively longish period. I'm
 dealing with it now by connecting a laptop by wire (the box doesn't
 have a screen or a keyboard) and running /etc/rc.d/netif restart
 ral0, but that's a bother. googling didn't bring up any useful
 results, so I'm wondering, what are the best ways to mitigate or fix
 this (aside from using a wire)? I'm considering writing a simple
 script that'd constantly ping my router and restart the wlan interface
 if it stops responding, but perhaps there's something pre-made or more
 simple than that available?

 cheers,
