Good day,

I'm battling with my WRT54G v2 since 6 weeks to get it work again. History:

. WhiteRussian 0.9 working well since february, previous versions also
. july 2007: I saw Kamikaze 7.06 and gave it a try. No more wireless. Didn't do anything more, going for holidays
. august 2007, 2 days ago (end of holidays :-(): I saw 7.07 and install it. Wireless came back but unstable:
  - only working few minutes and then very slow, even POP clients can't take mails (Timeout).
  - ping is ok
  - mtr is ok
  - ssh to the WRT54G and then launching top: sometimes immediately, sometimes after 4~5 refresh -> blocked, CTRL/C does nothing
  - http: same, blocked.
  - running down/up iface or renewing IP address make everything working as it should, but the problem will appear again within the same delay
. came back to WR 0.9 and ... still have the same wireless problem

I tested with 3 laptops, I tested those laptops against others WIFI Router: they are ok. Distrib are Debian/SID (ipw3945), Xubuntu 7.04 (ndiswrapper and bcm43xx), Ubuntu 7.04 (ndiswrapper and bcm43xx). Wired connection works perfectly. I removed iptables, WAN port is used as a 5 LAN port.

To summarize: had WR0.9 working smoothly, tested K7.06 (no WIFI) & K7.07 (WIFI unstable), came back to WR0.9 (still unstable WIFI). What can be wrong? Any help or hint greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the trick. At this moment *without having doing something else* than rebooting few times the WRT54G, 2 of 3 notebooks have the WIFI connection back! I think your manipulation will have good effects as soon as I will launch the script.

Again, many thanks for your help.

No problem,

Good to hear about progress.

Good luck,
