[indiana-discuss] still getting: ath0 link down

[Christian Thalinger]

Hi!

This gets really annoying.  Without any reason the ath0 link goes down
and, obviously, NWAM disconnects:

Feb  5 13:47:35 macbook mac: [ID 486395 kern.info] NOTICE: ath0 link down
Feb  5 13:47:35 macbook mac: [ID 744254 kern.info] NOTICE: ath0 link up
Feb  5 13:47:36 macbook mac: [ID 486395 kern.info] NOTICE: ath0 link down

When I then select my access point from the drop-down again, it connects
but it does not get an IP address but rather a timeout from the DHCP
server or it asks again for the pass phrase.

To get it working again I have to select a different AP, wait for the
pass phrase dialog, cancel it and select my AP again:

Feb  5 13:48:30 macbook in.ndpd[23215]: [ID 169330 daemon.error] Interface ath0 has been removed from kernel. in.ndpd will no longer use it
Feb  5 13:48:37 macbook mac: [ID 744254 kern.info] NOTICE: ath0 link up
Feb  5 13:49:37 macbook in.ndpd[23215]: [ID 169330 daemon.error] Interface ath0 has been removed from kernel. in.ndpd will no longer use it
Feb  5 13:49:37 macbook mac: [ID 486395 kern.info] NOTICE: ath0 link down
Feb  5 13:49:52 macbook mac: [ID 744254 kern.info] NOTICE: ath0 link up
Feb  5 13:49:55 macbook /sbin/dhcpagent[1457]: [ID 778557 daemon.warning] configure_v4_lease: no IP broadcast specified for ath0, making best guess

Then everything works again, without any need to enter my pass phrase
again.

Could someone have a look at this?  Since this always kills my VPN
connection into the SWAN.
