Ok, we're losin our minds here. Me and a friend just bought up no less than 4 boxes (server, 2 laptops, and a net-device) in about 2 weeks on stable 6.1. My first foray into bsd since '95, and I'm way-pleased. One little problem: every one of them loses it's connection (aka ip) when the wifi goes out and comes back, forcing us to 'dhclient xx0' incessantly. Note we're talking a belkin ath, an ativa ath, a wavelan wi and a linksys wi, not all the same card or even driver. Someone on current said, 'it's probably a problem with the driver's link-state handling' - whatever. Oh, yeah, we've got one set on a dlink ap, and the other on a linksys. Both are running wep for legacy reasons, which I have a sinking feeling may be a contributing factor. Ideas? thanks, Steve -- Steve Franks, KE7BTE Staff Engineer La Palma Devices, LLC http://www.lapalmadevices.com (520) 312-0089
