Hi Edwin,

Tried you config and does exhibit your reboot problem. Do you see kernel panic message in the serial console? If not, I think it is probably relates to power issues. Check your PSU unit, or check your WRAP board if it has 8 capacitors?

WRAP2C with 0.2 voyage + apt-get upgrade using default sources.list file. Tried SR5, CM9 and EMP8602 radios with identical results. Also switched WRAP boards with no change.

If I run ifdown ath0 followed by ifup ath0 the system always reboots.

Anyone have any thoughts on why this is happening? I have other boards that dont' exhibit this behavior.

Thx,

Edwin

Comment: using "wireless-txpower 26db" does *not* work while "up iwconfig ath0 txpower 26db" does. ???
