Description
Similar issues from the past: #188, #198
Since some upgrade half a year ago or so my MR3420-v5 isn't "on air" sooner or later.
I can still get in via cable; there's nothing interesting in the logread or dmesg output (no kernel crash or similar), but no clients can see the ESSID.
Rebooting or, as #198 states, changing the channel, makes Wifi come up again.
Is there something I can do to help debugging the issue? Currently I'm running r14808-499924adf0.
As the other tickets are closed I'm opening a new one.
Thank you!

Research direction
Start by comparing the behavior on the MR3420-v5 with the reports in #188 and #198, using logread and dmesg while the ESSID disappears. Check whether rebooting or changing the channel consistently restores WiFi; done means identifying the cause of the intermittent loss and documenting or validating a fix.
