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?
