           Summary: WIFI connection is lost periodically on ath0
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-STABLE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People

Hello.

Every several hours my wifi connection is lost. Removing tunnings from
sysctl.conf, tuning different setings on wifi router (disabling MAC Filteri=
ng,
chnging Beacon Interval/DTIM Interval/DHCP Address Lease Time/Group Key Upd=
ate
Period) didn't help.
When connection is lost ifconfig shows nothing special, status stays
'associated'.

pinging shows following:
$ ping 192.168.0.1=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=

When I do 'reassociate' command inside wpa_cli shell connection restores. A=
lso
it restores by running /etc/rc.d/netif restart.
Below is the listing from truss'ing wpa_supplicant service (first comes lin=
es
when connection is lost, then I did reassociate):
