--QTprm0S8XgL7H0Dt Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable O never mind, it still happens, though obviously more intermittently, since I didn't notice anything odd for almost an entire day. A few more things this time though: a. It IS intermittent, there seems to be very little pattern to this, except that it seems to be more likely to happen when/if I am using the internet more and actively (e.g. youtube etc rather than just let a few small internet using things run).=20 b. There seems to be an extra line in the error logs: =09 "Aug 19 10:53:47 tahoe dhclient[79063]: ioctl(SIOCGIFFLAGS) on wlan0: Operation not permitted" c. Speaking of error logs; I think this was the case before as well, but now it has become more obvious as I try to diagnose the exact issue: the breakage does not ALWAYS produce any output in any logs. i.e.: there are many times that wlan0 craps out and no logs show anything out of the ordinary.=20 d. The above is in addition to the intermittent-ish nature of the issue (that was mentioned) as well as the fact that restarting netif once d= oes not always fix it, sometimes netif needs to be restarted 2 or 3 times in a row. (Before any restarts ping just doesn't show any output. After 1 restart it just immediately gets back to me with "network unreachable" type error).=20 I will try to submit a pr in the next few days, studying for an exam right now.=20 Additionally, once I figure out how to use SVN, I can try to work through the different svn versions to see where it goes awry, though this will take a lot longer as compiling world takes about a full day on this machine.=20 Thanks,=20 -Tj --=20 Tj Hariharan Email: Tj@archlinux.us=20 On Sun, Aug 18, 2013 at 09:02:41AM -0700, Adrian Chadd wrote: > good to know! >=20 >=20 >=20 >=20 > -adrian >=20 >=20 > On 18 August 2013 05:19, Tj Hariharan <tj@archlinux.us> wrote: >=20 > > Ok so, at the time I was using r254246.
