--s9fJI615cBHmzTOP Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline I've been experimenting today with using my iwn(4) (PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN [Shiloh]) based wireless card, moving around the office. Overall we probably have 30 APs floating around, all broadcasting the same essid, which uses WPA2 with TKIP/PEAP. I find that my wlan0 device falls into a "no-carrier" status when I move too far away from the AP I origianlly connected too. I'm wondering if there's something specific with wpa_supplicant that needs to be done to maintain connections, or if the wireless driver itself is not properly identifying duplicate AP names and switching when I move around. Any suggestions for improving my in-office wireless experience? Cheers - R.
