Hi, I'm running Kamikaze 7.09 (2.4 kernel) on a wrt54g (V3), in AP mode with 128 bit WEP encryption. In normal operation the  Tx excessive retries counter (shown by iwconfig) slowly accumulates, but if I put the wireless network under load the rate shoots up and hosts lose their association with the AP, regaining and losing it cyclically till the wrt54g is rebooted, even if the task generating the network load is killed. I can't seem to find reference to others seeing this issue but any suggestions would be very welcome.

Cheers,

Stu

with wpa psk the Tx excessive retries count increases constantly

and wifi is almost unusable!

noway to resolve this!!

I have the same problem. Two aps with Ad-Hoc Config, they are just 3m of distance. The pings are

Here is the iwconfig.
