Status of bug #1024 (periodic signal lost and re-registration)

[Sebastian Reichel]

Hi,

Since I saw a lot of "Registered to:" in zhone recently I had a look
in .xsession-errors and saw quite a lot "network status changed"
messages produced by zhone. Running Distro is current Debian.

So I wrote a small fso script [1] which logs connection status. I
will include the log for the last 3 hours, my Freerunner was on my
desk the whole time:

As you can see the switching from one network to another happens
without disconnecting. Apart from that there are approximately six
disconnects in a very short timespan each hour.

I will bring this device with me to 25C3, so you can have a look at
it there. Assuming, that it happens in Berlin, too ;)

P.S.: Can somebody @25C3 install the Buzz-Fix [2] on my Freerunner?
