HI all
Got an old HP Compaq NX9040 laptop that I've repurposed as a wireless
client router running OpenBSD 5.1. I've installed a Ralink RT2560 wireless
card I salvaged from a broken D-Link print server. The wireless has IP
address 192.168.2.251, and the NIC has IP 172.16.1.254.
My problem is if I connect to anything on the 172.16.1/24 network, even the
router's NIC address, it drops out after a few minutes. If I connect to
the wireless IP, it's rock solid.
The onboard network card is a shitty Realtek 8139 card you find on most
laptops. Could it just be that the onboard NIC's gone to the dogs, or
could there be more at play here? I don't see any errors appear in dmesg
when the dropout occurs.
Full dmesg:
