Without encryption, the connection will stay up without fail. If I enable WPA, it disconnects at seeming random intervals that are shortened by doing large file transfers. Sometimes it will go for a full day without disconnecting; however, if I do a file ftp of a few hundred megs, it may disconnect after a just a few minutes. I do not think that it is a hardware problem in either the card or the router as when I boot the laptop into windows and use the same router and same WPA settings, the connection remains rock solid even with successive large file transfers. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
