Well... I was wrong. Interrups under 5.1-CURRENT still cause the wi0 running in hostap mode to shed it's clients. I'm not familiar with what 802.11b does to authenticate et. al., so I'm posting this ifconfig debug output from both the server and the client in hopes someone else knows what's happening. This particular system has two clients. It's worth noting that when I had a normal access point, I had no problems. This appears to be a problem with the wi0 in hostap mode.
The server says: wi0: sending assoc_resp to 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf on channel 11 wi0: station newly 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf associated wi0: received disassoc from 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf rssi 42 wi0: station 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf disassociated by peer (reason 8) wi0: received auth from 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf rssi 41 wi0: sending auth to 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf on channel 11 wi0: station already 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf authenticated wi0: received assoc_req from 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf rssi 39 wi0: received auth from 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf rssi 42 wi0: sending auth to 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf on channel 11 wi0: station already 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf authenticated wi0: received assoc_req from 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf rssi 42 wi0: sending assoc_resp to 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf on channel 11 wi0: station newly 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf associated wi0: station 05:ae:05:ae:b1:bf deauthenticate (reason 6) wi0: sending deauth to 05:ae:05:ae:b1:bf on channel 11 wi0: received auth from 00:04:e2:1e:11:d7 rssi 35 wi0: sending auth to 00:04:e2:1e:11:d7 on channel 11 wi0: station already 00:04:e2:1e:11:d7 authenticated wi0: received assoc_req from 00:04:e2:1e:11:d7 rssi 33 wi0: sending assoc_resp to 00:04:e2:1e:11:d7 on channel 11 wi0: station already 00:04:e2:1e:11:d7 associated wi0: received auth from 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf rssi 40 wi0: sending auth to 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf on channel 11 wi0: station already 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf authenticated wi0: received deauth from 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf rssi 40 wi0: station 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf deauthenticated by peer (reason 3) wi0: received assoc_req from 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf rssi 38 wi0: station 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf deauthenticate (reason 9) wi0: sending deauth to 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf on channel 11 wi0: received auth from 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf rssi 37 wi0: sending auth to 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf on channel 11 wi0: station newly 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf authenticated wi0: received assoc_req from 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf rssi 40 wi0: sending assoc_resp to 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf on channel 11 wi0: station newly 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf associated wi0: station 00:40:05:ae:00:05 deauthenticate (reason 6) wi0: sending deauth to 00:40:05:ae:00:05 on channel 11 wi0: receive packet with wrong version: d5 wi0: receive packet with wrong version: d5 The client says (not nearly so long a sample): wi0: <D Link DWL-650 11Mbps WLAN Card> at port 0x100-0x13f irq 11 function 0 config 1 on pccard0 wi0: 802.11 address: 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3873 wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.0.7), Station (1.3.5) wi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 disassociate (reason 8) wi0: sending disassoc to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 deauthenticate (reason 3) wi0: sending deauth to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 disassociate (reason 8) wi0: sending disassoc to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 deauthenticate (reason 3) wi0: sending deauth to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 disassociate (reason 8) wi0: sending disassoc to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 deauthenticate (reason 3) wi0: sending deauth to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 disassociate (reason 8) wi0: sending disassoc to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 deauthenticate (reason 3) wi0: sending deauth to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 disassociate (reason 8) wi0: sending disassoc to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 deauthenticate (reason 3) wi0: sending deauth to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 disassociate (reason 8) wi0: sending disassoc to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 deauthenticate (reason 3) wi0: sending deauth to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 Dave. -- ============================================================================ |David Gilbert, Independent Contractor. | Two things can only be | |Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | equal if and only if they | |http://daveg.ca | are precisely opposite. | =========================================================GLO================ _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
