Hi,

im getting �  quite strange behaviour with an image compiled from trunk for �  RB133 with CM9 card (madwifi)

After �  random time :

- the box doesn't transmit data anymore on wireless interface
- If i disassoc/reassoc the WPA key is asked but no way to assoc back

the syslog shows the message :

"ath_mgtstart: discard, no xmit buf"

It seems to be a quite old madwifi bug and i've tried some workarounds :

tips from http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=13376 and from madwifi forum

Without success sad

The only way to put put wireless in function is to reboot or to "wifi down/up"

The strange thing is that this problem shows up for 1 or two weeks with the up-to-date trunk from svn.

Does anyone have seen such thing/have any idea ?

The last thing i haven't tried yet is to downgrade madwifi.

Thanks and have a good evening/day

Yes, I noticed some error messages too with "trunk"
I have older versions of Kamikaze, works fine....

finally it seems that the solution is to modify the file :

trunk/build_dir/linux-adm5120_router_le/madwifi-dfs-r3053/ath/if_athvar.h

at line 232 change the ATH_TXBUF value from 200 to 400

(cf : http://madwifi.org/ticket/717)

currently i'm 4hours uptime without problem.


Could this setting be integrated by default ?
