[Madwifi-users] wifi0 Rx Tx packets drop

[saravanan c. <cha...@gm...>]

Hello,

On 2 nodes WDS link setup, the internet connection got disconnected
randomly. ifconfig on both systems
shows that interfaces wan_wds_0 and wifi0 experiences huge Rx packets
dropped and Tx error packets.

wan_wds_0  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0C:42:26:E9:5A
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:36085 errors:413 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:59412 errors:0 dropped:1 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:4775228 (4.5 MiB)  TX bytes:42742782 (40.7 MiB)

wifi0     Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr
00-0C-42-26-E9-5A-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:3773123 errors:0 dropped:134564 overruns:0 frame:192750
          TX packets:104374 errors:2000 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:199
          RX bytes:197905438 (188.7 MiB)  TX bytes:83519252 (79.6 MiB)

Both the nodes see each other with good signal strength and systems
has 44196KB of free memory.
Clients on each nodes are connected and access internet. But internet
connection drops randomly.

Can anybody tell me what causes the packets to be dropped ?

thanks
