I confirm this issue, but with a worse failure mode: After disconnect my system doesn't reassociate until I bring interface down and up. Un/reloading the driver also helps, but then sometimes I run into another bug where uping the interface gives error 132 (or -132?) and reboot is required, so I avoid that.
I have seen this issue with all access points that I have used, so far three:
Jensen Scandinavia (chinese rebrand) Air:Link 7954v2 LongRange (has other issues; it crashes under high UDP load regardless of clientside radio, that's unrelated)
Linksys WAP54G
Self-built soekris with AR5212 card running oldish Linux+madwifi in master mode
In particular the latter two APs are running solid in office and home production environments with daily use for several years. The first AP uses WEP, the last two no encryption at all.
My kernel is 2.6.32-rc6 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/anholt/drm-intel.git commit 5618ca6abc2d6f475b258badc017a5254cf43d1b from Dec 2. The last change in drivers/net/wireless/ath is commit e55ea2b152569f09ef6bb28d5a341a4e5a21f5ce from Oct 28.

(This is not an Apple system though, I retrofitted this card into my ThinkPad.)
Another thing; if the link is left idle the disconnect happens (much) quicker. I keep a ping running, but it is not a reliable workaround. I never run wpa_supplicant. This is on a Gentoo system. Power Management was on, and I just now switched it off, after reading what looks to be the same bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14267 Running fine after iwconfig power off for 50 minutes now. Please see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14267 for further comments. This bug is definately a duplicate, please close it as such? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 14267 *** Thanks for the additional info, I'll keep track of bug #14267 |
Hi all, the ath9k driver is not working very nicely with the AR5008 Wireless chip. It is associated with a Fritz!Box 7270 but gets disassociated a lot: [ 4506.432379] No probe response from AP ${AP_MAC} after 500ms, disconnecting.
