Hi folks,
I'm regularily loosing wlan link (not sure if its a driver problem or disortion in the local air) and so have to restart the wland interface quite often. As the box is also doing several automatic things (backups, etc), it's really ugly (eg. when I'm not on keys, at some point no backups can be made, etc). So I'm looking for a way to fully-automatically restart the interface when the link goes down. Of course, I could hack up some syslog parsing, which calls '/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart', but that implies the interface going down (iow: ipstack will report no route to destination network back to applications) for several seconds. Does anyone know an better solution, which just reconnects to the same AP w/o taking the interface down (maybe even buffer the packets while physical link down) ? cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weig...@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
