           Summary: Spurious disassociations in prismGT STA <-> prism2.5 AP
                    setup
           Product: prim54
           Version: 1.0.2.2
          Platform: ia32
        OS/Version: Linux 2.6
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Firmware
        AssignedTo: prism54-devel@prism54.org
        ReportedBy: vda@port.imtp.ilyichevsk.odessa.ua


prism54 firmware/driver spuriously disassociate
at low to medium signal levels even under light traffic.
Under heavy traffic this happens even at the very good
signal levels.

Looks like STA slips into 'try to find better AP' mode
far too easy. I tend to blame firmware. Mine is 1.0.4.3

Typical AP log:
