Gunther Maybe someone is performing a deauth attack on your AP, in hopes of getting your password? Very unlikely since my wireless is actually unencrypted. Unless it's a DoS of course. How could I trace that? Tcpdump on the wireless interface on the ap shows nothing unusual. My laptop associates 100% with the same ap btw, also the card is completely useless now and I have to string a cable through my whole house...
