 I updated to r28089 yesterday and have noticed a significant number of

 The hardware is a D-Link DIR-825.  I only use Radio0 for my wireless.

 Normally, I can stream video without any problems to our Playstation over
 the wireless network, but yesterday when I tried (after updating), I kept
 getting the dreaded DLNA 2104 error, and the PS3 kept dropping off
 Playstation Network as well.

 I also tried extended network operations using a Dell D610 laptop running
 openSUSE 11.4, and it also kept getting knocked off the network.  It also
 intermittently couldn't even get an IP address.


I've seen similar issues with a similar revision. I'm currently
testing 28096, and I'm not yet seeing any issues. Hopefully the bump
to the newest wireless drivers has improved the situation.

Out of curiosity, are you using wpa or wpa2 encryption? Does your
router log show any strange errors?

 When I started updating from SVN today, I noticed the first couple of
 files changed since building yesterday seemed related to wireless, so I
 thought I'd ask if anyone else is seeing similar issues.

A little additional information - watching logread -f on the router, I 
see the following:

1.  hostapd reports the device (in this case, my Android phone) 
associates with the station
2.  hostapd reports the device has authenticated
3.  hostapd reports RADIUS has started an accounting session
3.  dnsmasq.dhcp issues a dhcpdiscover and dhcpoffer 3 times (the correct 
address is offered)
4.  hostapd reports the device is disassociated.

This just loops over and over right now, and nothing can associate.  Last 
night, I rebooted the router and it was OK for a while (less than an 
hour).

After restarting the network with /etc/init.d/network restart - I was 
able to connect.

Great, I've got a build running right now, so hopefully this will be a 
quick fix.

 log show any strange errors?

wpa2-psk here.  I just posted about the log - it's acting kinda like 
there's a memory leak (perhaps) or something similar to that - the 
physical layer connects but the dhcpoffer is never accepted by the 
device.  Restarting the network on the router gave me a temporary fix.

I'll get this version (last change shows as 28096, same as yours) 
installed and see if that helps.

Thanks!

Jim

No change here with 28096 (svn info shows r28106 but the last changed rev 
is r28096).

After a while, stations just can't reconnect and get an IP address, 
though the router is sending the address.

Reverted back to the previous version I had installed (r27572) and that 
version is working fine.  If there's additional info I can provide to 
help narrow down the problem in the later releases, please let me know 
and I'll reinstall the later build to diagnose further.
