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=" 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.
