Hi all, I have an eeePC with the "Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter". Im running emdebian with a custom 2.6.35.7 built kernel.
I connect to my WAP using: modprobe -r ath5k modprobe ath5k wpa_supplicant -B -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 ifconfig wlan0 192.168.2.9 up route add default gw 192.168.2.1 Which works fine. But i find after a few minutes of idle, the connection fails. However, if i keep packets flowing over the connection (ie, pinging), the connection will keep working for any amount of time. Now i also use this card in adhoc mode using: modprobe -r ath5k modprobe ath5k iw dev wlan0 set type ibss ifconfig wlan0 192.168.3.1 up iw dev wlan0 ibss join eeedash 2442 This has exactly the same problem. If i connect to the adhoc within a few mins of running the above commands, and then keep pinging the eeepc, the connection will continue to work. If i dont connect within a few mins, or let the connection idle for a few mins, the connection fails and the adhoc network becomes unconnectable. There are no strange messages or errors in the sys logs / dmesg. Any ideas whats going on here? Any suggestions on different settings, etc i could try? Thanks in advance!
