What was going on at this time? I keep pings going on another window just to see when it stops. It was doing alright (pings going through) and suddenly "stops working" around following lines in logs: Nov 12 10:59:51 flymockour-l7 kernel: wlan0: ieee80211_bg_scan: active scan, ticks 7165936 duration 150 Nov 12 10:59:51 flymockour-l7 kernel: wlan0: [6c:f3:7f:4d:88:47] send QoS null data frame on channel 1, pwr mgt ena and then it tries scanning and what not but never recovers. Funny (read annoying) thing is, its not failing in the same way every time it disconnects. I do not see the same pattern. And by "stops working" I see, it still has ip and ssid but "status: no carrier" in ifconfig. > >> Thanks a bunch Adrian! > > so, I have a feeling that for "best" iwn(4) behaviour, we should > likely extend net80211 to not do its own scan stuff (by putting the > VAP into power save mode whilst doing scanning) but just to fire off a > scan request.

Thanks again, Hiren
