Add to wpa_supplicant command line:
So we can compare wpa_supplicant output.
This is the output
Code: Select all

Disable 5 GHz only on this device? One line to wpa_supplicant.conf:
Code: Select all
freq_list=2412 2417 2422 2427 2432 2437 2442 2447 2452 2457 2462 2467 2472
When 5 GHz is disabled it works better now.
However, connection is still not stable and still freezes every now and then.
I think we learned something useful from trying B43 driver, but maybe it is better to revert to WL driver.
Since I added bgscan to wpa_supplicant.conf, no more "I'm tired" message has appeared with WL driver.
Roaming will be less elegant without measuring signal strength, but I think it is better than an unstable connection.
If you want me to test more it is fine, but I think WL driver will be the best choice.
