Driver is run in WPA-PSK mode (wpa_supplicant). Driver is not able to reconnect
after AP's (Zyxel Prestige P660HW-T7C) period for re-authentication has timed
out (factory default is 1800 secs.). In the Access Point's configuration this
can be set to 9999 secs. but not switched off, so the healthy connection is
limited to 9999 secs. Problem can be fixed only by linux reboot ("wpa_action
wlan0 reload" / "ifconfig wlan0 stop/start" did not help.
Everything else (automatic reconnect after AP power-off, WPA group rekeying
etc.) works fine.
Problem occurs with Asus WL-107g (PCMCIA) as well as with Asus WL-167g (USB).
System is Etch (updated 2006-12-23).
In case of error wpa_cli reports the following (repeatedly):
