Summary: WLAN stability issue with WPA
Product: Neo1973 Hardware
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Wifi
AssignedTo: openmoko-kernel at lists.openmoko.org

CC: buglog at lists.openmoko.org
I have had a GTA02 up on WLAN (WPA, Belkin AP with default firmware) for
a couple of days now. I have some little experiences with it.
- First it seemed there was something up with ARP for its IP. If I
pinged out from the GTA02 on WLAN, then my laptop can ping to the GTA02
WLAN IP. Before I pinged out from the GTA02, it seemed it did not get
an ARP query response and claimed there was no route despite everything
was set. It should have had an ARP request and response without that.
- Next the connection did not stay nailed up for more than several
hours. When I examined the situation by connecting the debug board
console, and tried to ping again, I saw that wpa_supplicant reacted by
noting that association was lost, and reacquired it quickly. A
subsequent ping worked without doing anything else.
- I reacted to this by doing
ping <router ip> &
on the GTA02 and it stayed up for a day or so. I noticed it was
unreachable again today.
- When I examine again with the debug console, the ping is still
running but gives

- iwconfig does not list the logical WLAN network interface eth0 any more.
Unfortunately the crisis that left it in this state is flushed from the
dmesg buffer.
