PostPosted: Thu Jun 03, 2010 4:27 pm    Post subject: ath5k jumbo disconnect Reply with quote

My wifi card disconnects the AP association every few seconds.
If I re-apply the ssid, it re-associates with the AP, and reactivates for a few seconds..
My Access Point hasn't changed in several years, but this problem started in the last week.
I really need help to figure this out.
My band-aid is a shell loop:
Code:
while [ 1 ]; do
  if ( ! `ping  -c 1 192.168.0.1 > /dev/null` ); then
         echo down `date`;
         iwconfig wlan0 essid all_your_base;
         sleep 10;   
  fi;
done

lspci |grep Atheros
Code:
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
