           Summary: Wireless connection repeatedly drops out then reconnects
                    with Atheros and Madwifi
           Product: Mandriva Linux
           Version: 2008.1
          Platform: i586
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: normal
         Component: Core Packages
        AssignedTo: triage@...
        ReportedBy: cyprix@...
         QAContact: bugs@...


The wireless connection will drop out and then return in 10sec to 3min.

This is with Atheros chipset powered by madwifi drivers.

The exact same connections (cards, aps, computers etc) under 2008.0 were rock
solid.

I have found this to occur with my:

D-Link DWL-G520 PCI Card (reports as AR5212/AR5213)
D-Link DWl-G680 PCMCIA Card (reports as AR5212/AR5213)

I also have a Netgear PCI Card to test if necessary - however it is also a
AR5212/AR5213 card.

I have been tested with different connections:
Unsecured - not tested
WEP - occurs
WPA/WPA2 - occurs
WPA-EAP - occurs

Solid: 2008.0 with madwifi-0.9.3.2-3mdv2008.0
Unstable: 2008.1 with madwifi-0.9.3.3-5.r3114mdv2008.1

I have only found this under 32bit, I have not tested 64bit.

My initial thoughts were that it may have been a changed environment (even
though i did not believe it had changed), however too many different
environments tested have had the same issue.

This was previously mentioned on:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.mandrake.cooker.devel/280100

What information do you need from me to help solve this?

Anything I can do to debug this problem or provide info that can help solve it?

The network drops out every now and then for a couple of minutes - very
annoying.

Maintainers will ask you for more info if needed

Thanks



------ Original Bug Text: ------

The wireless connection will drop out and then return in 10sec to 3min.

This is with Atheros chipset powered by madwifi drivers.

The exact same connections (cards, aps, computers etc) under 2008.0 were rock solid.

I have found this to occur with my:

D-Link DWL-G520 PCI Card (reports as AR5212/AR5213)
D-Link DWl-G680 PCMCIA Card (reports as AR5212/AR5213)

I also have a Netgear PCI Card to test if necessary - however it is also a AR5212/AR5213 card.

I have been tested with different connections:
Unsecured - not tested
WEP - occurs
WPA/WPA2 - occurs
WPA-EAP - occurs

Solid: 2008.0 with madwifi-0.9.3.2-3mdv2008.0
Unstable: 2008.1 with madwifi-0.9.3.3-5.r3114mdv2008.1

I have only found this under 32bit, I have not tested 64bit.

My initial thoughts were that it may have been a changed environment (even though i did not believe it had changed), however too many different environments tested have had the same issue.

Same problem here with AR5212/AR5213 also. I also got these link beat detected
and link beat lost -messages to my syslog. Obviously, that stopped when i
killed the ifplugd but it didn't solve the problem. At least without ifplugd
the network is gone only for one to two second usually (not sure if that's the
case when ifplugd is running). IIRC this problem didn't exist with 2008.0. I'm
using WPA-PSK encryption (and wpa_supplicant of course).

Here's a clip from my access points log:
#       Time            Message
1       3926612                 Station disassociated.
2       3926612                 Station deauthenticated.
3       3926612                 Station authenticated.
4       3926612                 Station associated.

I quickly tested newest svn version of madwifi (r3745) and it seems to work way
better, at least for me. So far, there has been no station disassociated
-messages on my APs logs.

I made some rpms in case someone want's to test them. I removed all patches
including EEE stuff.

Here's the i586 builds:
http://plafe.silmukka.net/madwifi/madwifi-0.9.5-1.r3745mdv2008.1.i586.rpm
http://plafe.silmukka.net/madwifi/dkms-madwifi-0.9.5-1.r3745mdv2008.1.i586.rpm

and here's the src.rpm in case you are interested:
http://plafe.silmukka.net/madwifi/madwifi-0.9.5-1.r3745mdv2008.1.src.rpm

Just in case these doesn't work for you, I suggest that you download the old
rpms to your harddrive before testing these.

With the move to ath5k for 2009.0 is this bug still relevant or even possible
to fix as work on this driver has ceased upstream?
