This is my experience. I have an EDUP EDUP EP-MS150N with the Ra5370 chipset. [ 24.097375] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00_set_rt: Info - RT chipset 5390, rev 0502 detected [ 24.218154] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00_set_rf: Info - RF chipset 5370 detected [ 24.225321] ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'minstrel_ht' [ 24.226860] usbcore: registered new interface driver rt2800usb [ 29.267562] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Info - Loading firmware file 'rt2870.bin' [ 31.210267] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Info - Firmware detected - version: 0.29 [ 37.451880] wlan0: authenticate with 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx [ 37.538490] wlan0: send auth to 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (try 1/3) [ 37.541043] wlan0: authenticated [ 37.545072] wlan0: associate with 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (try 1/3) [ 37.548982] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (capab=0xc31 status=0 aid=5) [ 37.562746] wlan0: associated It works fine for anywhere from 6 to 36 hours then hangs. I have ensured good WiFi signal, good power supply, not overclocking etc. The issue is the power management. Out of the box it comes with power management enabled. if you disable it sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off then it stays up for weeks. I also have an EDUP EP-N8508 which has the RealTek rtl8192cu, which I believe is similar to the EDIMAX. Out of the box power management is disabled, and it also runs for weeks without a problem. Sean, Is there a way to make iwconfig command stick? I think this would improve the distribution. The problem maybe the adapter and AP combination... but certainly power management off seems the safest way to go. Thanks again for your hard work...it is much appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ anotheruser's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62617 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
