<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hello</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I've been using hostap for a few months and
it work all the time. except the driver have to reset the card sometimes.(seen
it in log)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>my config...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>eth0 for internal lan, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>eth1 for adsl modem</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>wlan0 for wlan, it is a plx card with latest
release of hostap.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>eth0 and wlan0 bridged into br0</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2.4.20 kernel, with new nat patch </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the only change i made is linux-igd ad reami.
installed few weeks ago.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>anyway my problem is, in a fine sunny day I
decided to upgrade my samba server(had some problem on direct file execute on
shares)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>after the compile, lsing around to check the
files... my putty client freezed and the server console keep poping
out</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>earth kernel: device eth0 entered promiscuous
mode</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>they don't show up in the log.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i wonder why the eth0 is resetting itself...and not
the wlan!?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>so I changed the cable to another port in the
switch, replaced the network card, all fail. it will happen again in few mins,
or few hours. in some worst case ifconfig show error getting device info, and
show no interface.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>now I disabled the bridge, still waiting for the
problem to happen. i guess without the bridge it won't happen, as the card won't
go into promiscuous mode.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>any hints?</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
