[Prism54-users] Dropped packets at 10 second intervals

[Jeff Bobzin]

Tim,

I sent Luis my test program on Friday. Perhaps he will post it.

I find it interesting that the interval between drops is exactly 10 =
seconds. And also, the drops occur only when the transmission originates =
 on the master (master sends to managed). Running the same program on =
managed sending to master or ad-hoc to ad-hoc shows no periodic packet =
drop.

This could very easily be a firmware bug. Or perhaps the problem is in =
the driver code that detects card buffers full. Or perhaps no one will =
duplicate the bug and it will turn out to be my setup. =20

That's not true, at least not with cards that I know of. If I ping in my
internal network or to my machine at work (which is in the same city) I
usually see no package loss at all, also when there's a hop over a
wireless link. But not when the link is wireless via SMC2802W as an AP,
then I have +/- 20% package loss, so I think there's really some bug
there. This is all with standard ping settings (64b every second)
