I've been seeing pauses in network connectivity with my iwn in BETA-2 through 4. I hadn't noticed it much until I set "wpa_ptk_rekey=NNNN" down to 600. Then it seemed like it hit me every five minutes. I think it was originally 1800. But the /usr/share/examples/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, currently has it at 600 in -RC1. I could be remembering incorrectly. It seems like it became much less frequent when I changed wpa_ptk_rekey to 3600. Maybe I just started noticing when I had to start doing a lot of ssh sessions from the house. My sessions would lock up and, usually, continue in a few seconds to a few minutes. If I hadn't been using a session when the network paused, that session would usually be working fine while I waited for my original session to continue. I have not noticed it on my WEP AP, but I normally connect the ethernet cable at that location. I should test there. I have other issues with the iwn and haven't really dug into the problem to try to figure out if it is wpa_supplicant or iwn or a combination. iwn does not function after resume so I've actually run ethernet cables to where I use the laptop now. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin lamb...@lambertfam.org _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
