More details please. Which driver? How is that stuff configured? wpa_supplicant involved? Try running it with debug messages enabled. We need to figure out what entity is causing the device to go down/up, this can either be wpa_supplicant or net80211 (or a cronjob calling ifconfig down/up every 18 minutes ;). The appropriate debug options enabled (wlandebug 0xffffffff or wpa_supplicant with -dd) should reveal that. -- Bernhard _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
