Strange disconnects of WL-HDD with Fritz 7170

[fredlcore]

Hi,

I realized in the system log of my FritzBox 7170 that my WL-HDD (Oleg's firmware 7f) regularly disconnects and immediately reconnects ("angemeldet" means connected, "abgemeldet" means disconnected):

(Someone know how to give the WL-HDD a name so that it appears instead of the "-"? In Network Neighbourhood/Samba it appears just fine.)

As you can see on one day it's every hour (to the minute!) the other day just every two hours.

The crontab in both devices is empty, but I don't know what jobs both devices do regularly through daemons or other parts of their firmware.

Anybody an idea what is the reason or how to fix it or find out which device is causing this?


Another topic: Is there a way to set the WL-HDD's wireless to energy saving?

Cheers,

Frederik.

Hi,

I think I found a solution, although I don't understand why:

When I do a "wl PM 1" and thus set the driver power-save mode from "constantly awake" to "power-save", the disconnects disappear.
I could understand the disconnects in "power-save"-state, as I have experienced this with my PCMCIA-card, but in "constantly-awake"-state?

And anyone knows what mode no. 2 ("FAST PS mode") is? Is it a faster (but more energy-consuming) mode? Or does it fall asleep faster?

Any hints welcome,

Frederik.
