The interesting bit here is not the RTM_NEWLINK, but the SIOCGIWAP call. The next line says "New AP 00:00:00:00:00:00". That means, that there is NO new access-point, as 00:00:00:00:00:00 is an invalid MAC address. Basically mac80211 told user-space that it lost connection to an access-point. The "my connection drops for a few seconds" now happens because wpa_supplicant scans and selects a new access-point. That takes some time, as scanning and roaming is currently very untuned in mac80211/wpa_supplicant. -- http://www.holgerschurig.de _______________________________________________ ath5k-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ath5k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath5k-users
