hello, I'm surprised that no one replied, but anyway, just an update: it seems I've managed to resolve the problem with this short ifstated(8) config:
============================== # loglevel debug ping = '("ping -q -c 1 -t 1 192.168.1.1 > /dev/null" every 10)' state one { if !$ping set-state two } state two { init { run "logger -p console.notice -t ifstated 'Restarting network!'" run "/etc/rc.d/netif restart ral0" } if $ping set-state one } ============================== that's about it. cheers, reinis On Feb 3, 2008 10:17 PM, Reinis Ivanovs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hello, > > I've noticed that my wireless connection tends to drop once in a while > and only restores itself after a relatively longish period.
