Hello
Been testing the 6.35 RC versions, I think I have found a bug.
I have two OmniTIKs setting up a simple link across the street. I am using NV2. Since switching to wireless-rep I have noticed a problem affecting the client side: after several chages made to the “AP” unit (which means the wireless interface is reset), the client needs a reboot in order to be able to connect.
This doesn’t happen with wireless-fp. With wireless-fp, whenever I reset the AP, the client connects without problems.
I am using non standard channels with a bit more bandwidth, I am not sure if this might be the problem. But with wireless-fp it worked without needing to reboot.

The AP configuration is:

# software id = 9SFF-0RWS
#
/interface wireless

I have tried setting the a/g rates to the default values just in case, but the client still won’t reconnect until it’s rebooted.
Right now I have 6.35rc26 on the AP, 6.35rc25 on the client. I will update both this evening.
