Reposting this, as I posted Friday evening when fewer people were probably reading and haven't heard anything. If that's not the reason, then sorry for the noise.
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Corey <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 8:23 PM Subject: Soekris net5501 locks up with Ralink 2860 miniPCI To: [email protected] I'm having trouble with my Soekris net5501 home router (and now wifi access point) locking up. Prior to installing the wifi I had it running various snapshots for about 6 months, no problem. (My wifi at that time was a separate Linksys WRT54GS running Tomato.) I had wanted to toy with integrating the wifi into the Soekris, so I bought a Sparklan WMIR-200N a/g/n card based on the Ralink 2860+2850 chips. I sat on it for awhile, but recently I loaned my Linksys to some friends in need and decided to grab a January snapshot and give it a go. It worked fine for a week or so, but then I began experiencing hard lockups - no serial console, no ddb, no wired or wifi network access, nothing. It seems to only happen when the wifi is being used, though not necessarily heavily, and at random times -- a couple days to a week between incidents. A power-off of the Soekris is required to reset it, and after that everything is fine, for awhile. I loaded a March 17th snap, hoping for the best, and removed my custom read-only/writes-to-ramdisk filesystem setup in favor of a vanilla install to CF. No luck; it has locked up twice since then. Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions on how to proceed in troubleshooting this. I realize it could be bad hardware -- wifi card I guess, since the Soekris worked fine before that. The card is less than a year old, and unfortunately I don't have another computer with miniPCI to try it in. Thanks in advance for any and all input. If you need any more info let me know. Corey p.s. one weird thing is the way ifconfig says it's in "11a" mode when I have chosen channel 11 (802.11g), and the clients see it as g. The 802.11a never worked very well with this card. # cat /etc/hostname.ral0 inet 172.31.2.1 255.255.255.0 NONE -inet6 media autoselect mediaopt hostap \ nwid soekris chan 11 wpa wpaciphers ccmp
