Hello,
I have been having an issue with maintaining a connection that seems
to hang at random intervals. The only messages I see are about the
interface 'ipw0: link state changed to DOWN' then UP a few times until
the connection is reestablished or I have to '/etc/rc.d/netif restart
ipw0'. If left on it's own reestablishing the connection takes under
60 seconds, using netif is about 5 seconds including typing the
command.
I suspect an issue with either dhcp, wpa_supplicant, or the ipw
wireless driver. I was not able to get the ipw driver to work at all
in FreeBSD-6.3 and suspect the driver. Is there anyway to pin down
the problem?
