Fw: deauthentication: reason_code=3

[wireless at douglasheld.net]

Hello,

I am running hostap-2002-10-12 (the .plx driver) on a Red Hat 6.2 machine,
and I am investigating roaming with a laptop, where I come in and out of
range of the AP.

My AP consists of the plx card in the RedHat box, and a Dlink DWL 900-AP+
configured as a repeater of the plx radio.

What I find is that the card software on the laptop will happily state that
is is still associated (or RE-associated), and the LEDs show that it
associated.  However, no packets get through.

I find the following (or similar) in my messages file:  My question, I
guess, is where can I decode "reason_code=3", and can anyone guess a setting
I can use to instruct the AP to be agreeable when clients with bad
connections move to a better location?

Thanks, Jouni.
