Although them happening every few seconds does seem a little excessive. I'd expect the auth messages to be happening on the order of once a minute. : I have the following options in my kernel config file : : options WLCACHE # enables the signal-strength cache : options WLDEBUG # enables verbose debugging output : : Is it the WlDEBUG that is causing the messages? Should I turn this option : off to get more meaningful debug messages? These are for a different driver and will have no effect. : Also, the problem I raised with the wi interface debug mode and channel : changes : is still happening after a cvsup, kernel rebuild and reboot. Likely something subtle here. I don't change channels when I'm debugging. Debug mode is designed only to track down problems with the mgmt messages, not as a general purpose tool that's bullet proof :-) Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
