Hi,

I'm a newbie to the ts-7260, and I'm having reliability issues with
the USB 802.11 and zd module.  It comes up fine and works for a little
while, but after a few minutes my connectivity mysteriously goes away.
 Bringing the interface down and back up doesn't help, but unloading
and reloading the zd module brings the connection back (at least,
until it disappears again).  This makes me suspicious of zd.

When things are working, iwconfig shows this:

--------------
wlan0     802.11b/g NIC  ESSID:"ITS237"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency=2.462 GHz  Access Point:
00:12:43:2F:14:60
          Bit Rate:11 Mb/s
          Retry:off   RTS thr=2432 B   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:52/100  Signal level:30/100  Noise level:7/100
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:3179  Invalid misc:3642   Missed beacon:0
--------------

When I lose connectivity, iwconfig looks different, like this:

--------------
wlan0     802.11b/g NIC  ESSID:""
          Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:52  Signal level:43  Noise level:7
          Rx invalid nwid:0  invalid crypt:0  invalid misc:0
--------------

I really don't know much about wireless, so I'm not sure what to
do--any ideas?

Thanks,

Brian
