I'm running SUSE 9 pro on a Toshiba Satellite 1115-S123, my wireless card is a Microsoft Broadband Networking MN-520 (prism chipset), and my access point is a D-Link DI-514. In Gnome, I have the wireless applet in the toolbar to show my current signal strength. From time to time, the applet will show N/A and when I check /var/log/messages I get this (ignore the old dates): May 31 13:00:55 slacker kernel: prism2sta_mlmerequest: Failed to read wlan0 statistics: error=-61 May 31 13:00:57 slacker kernel: prism2sta_mlmerequest: Failed to read wlan0 statistics: error=-61 May 31 13:00:58 slacker kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: wlan0: transmit timed out May 31 13:00:58 slacker kernel: hfa384x_tx_timeout: Implement me. May 31 13:00:59 slacker kernel: prism2sta_mlmerequest: Failed to read wlan0 statistics: error=-61 May 31 13:01:03 slacker last message repeated 2 times May 31 13:01:03 slacker kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: wlan0: transmit timed out May 31 13:01:03 slacker kernel: hfa384x_tx_timeout: Implement me. May 31 13:01:07 slacker kernel: prism2sta_mlmerequest: Failed to read wlan0 statistics: error=-61 When this happens I lose all connectivity to the access point. I cannot get wlan0 back up using rc network restart - I have to go in to YaST, change the settings then change them back to what they were, and apply the settings. As far as I knew YaST was basically doing the rc network restart as I was not changing any settings. If YaST cannot bring wlan0 back up I have to restart. On every boot I must also manually bring wlan0 up and add a route. I made a script for this but it's a real pain in the butt. I guess my questions are: 1) Does anyone have an idea what is going on with wlan0 and why the card cannot read the signal? 2) Is there anyway I can get my wlan0 IP and route to stay even after reboot? Any info or help would be great, thanks in advance =] Matt (By the way, I did get great joy from contacting Microsoft's Broadband Networking support and thanking them for using the Prism chipset in there cards - helping me get wireless working in Linux)
