>Description:
My wireless network card is an Intel PRO/Wireless 5100, and I'm using the iwn driver.
/etc/rc.conf contains the following:
wlans_iwn0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"
And /etc/wpa_supplicat.conf has the appropriate settings for some access points.
When the system boots, the network is established correctly, but whenever I need to restart it via '/etc/rc.d/netif restart', when I ping my access point around 10 packets are sent before the network goes down and 'ifconfig wlan0' shows it is looking for different APs (or even the same AP in diverse channels, for example). When a connection is established to the AP again, it goes down after a few seconds again.
If I do '/etc/rc.d/netif restart' again, the connection stops dropping.
>How-To-Repeat:
/etc/rc.d/netif restart
