OK I enabled this last night and this morning I find that the DHCP =
server has stopped serving anything on the WIFI interface. Thats a new =
one. It might be a random bugs in the ISC DHCP server but I haven=92t =
noticed it before and I have seen that rtadvd sometimes doesn=92t cope =
with broken interfaces and requires a restart after they are fixed so =
maybe dhcpd is similar. That would mean the sysctl loop had brought =
things back by itself. DHCP didn=92t log anything and seemed to be =
working over wired ethernet.

I restarted DHCP and everything seems normal. Pings are a bit variable =
but no IP layer loss (e.g. best 1.6ms, avg 6.9ms, worst 15.3 ms for a =
ping from a client to the base station).

Nothing logged yet from ath0 other than "ath0: stuck beacon; resetting =
(bmiss count 0)=94 (note 0 this time) logged approx every 4 minutes. =
Every 5th (approx) has a bmiss of 4). "ath0: device timeout=94 appears =
about once every 2 hours.

I will keep checking and let you know.

Thanks,

Andrew=
