I have configured several OpenWrt kamikaze AP's with various versions of Madwifi from 9.3.3 up to the latest version in openwrt's trunk and I keep seeing the same problem pop up. When I connect more than one STA the network has periods of time where all of the STA clients appear are unreachable. If I looking in wlanconfig I can see all of the STA nodes connected and with excellent signal strengths. I am also using wpa_supplicant to connect the STA nodes with wpa and they will are show as associated with wpa_supplicant. If I try ping or do anything to these nodes they are unreachable for no apparent reason. If I wait for several minutes, sometimes 10 - 15 minutes the STA's will all come back to life and everything will work like normal. If I turn one of the units off and back in a short period of time, I can usually make this phenomenon occur and the rest of the STA's will not be reachable but anything that's not a STA client is reachable just fine. Anyone got any ideas? |
