Hello, I am using freebsd7 on a thinkpad T23 laptop and the ipw driver for the intel 2100 mini-pci card. The 7.0 ipw driver works vs. not working in 6.x . My network consists of an AP+WPA->router+DHCP+DNS->DSL modem. I have setup wpa_supplicant correctly and everything works. An issue arises where I need to reassociate occasionally. If I connect directly to the router, my connection is fine. If I connect to the access point, the connection is fine initially then fails to resolve names and loses the router/gateway. The odd thing is that I still have a good connection to the access point (tested with ping) but no connection to the router (also tested with ping). If I use 'wpa_cli reassociate' everything starts working again. What tools are available to help diagnose this issue and what is the issue? -- Thank you, David Gurvich
