At the office I work at one of my coworkers injured his knee while assisting family members with farm work over the weekend. He’s had to get surgery and now hobbles around on crutches. As I watched him manage his way to the copier/printer to get some papers, I realized that despite the initial hardships, there are just a few positives that come from such an injury. Not that I will justify the injury, or suggest that the benefits even make it seem worth it – obviously the pain isn’t fun to deal with, nor would or should you consider injuring yourself to teach yourself a lesson about patience…

What I believe it teaches the individual, is patience. Patience with one self. As you realize you can’t do more than your able, and you have to limit what you do and how fast, you realize that the typical pressures we feel to get things done quickly are actually very trivial in the great run of life. Two years from now, most likely it won’t matter if you took 5 minutes to get those papers copied, or 10 minutes to get them copied. While I don’t expect this to be a blanket statement for all situations (ie, how quickly an EMT works on a person in an ambulance), some of the things we worry about are so trivial.

Once you learn patience with yourself, you then become more patient with others. For example, after you realize that 5 minutes in a day is so trivial, you will begin to be more patient with others on which you interact with. For example, waiting a few extra minutes on a person in a checkout line, because they have a crying kid, or the checker is new and in training… I believe that once we become more patient with ourselves, we can begin to see ourselves in others situations, even in a checkout line.

The following list of Wireless Deauthorization codes will give you some help in troubleshooting why a certain wireless device disassociated from an access point. If you are troubleshooting an access point dropping out mysteriously, or are just doing audits of your access point logs, these should provide some clarity to that.

Client Reason Code – Description – Meaning

• 0 – noReasonCode – Normal operation.
• 1 – unspecifiedReason – Client associated but no longer authorized.
• 2 – previousAuthNotValid – Client associated but not authorized.
• 3 – deauthenticationLeaving – The access point went offline, deauthenticating the client.
• 4 – disassociationDueToInactivity – Client session timeout exceeded.
• 5 – disassociationAPBusy – The access point is busy, performing load balancing, for example.
• 6 – class2FrameFromNonAuthStation – Client attempted to transfer data before it was authenticated.
• 7 – class2FrameFromNonAssStation – Client attempted to transfer data before it was associated.
• 8 – disassociationStaHasLeft – Operating System moved the client to another access point using non-aggressive load balancing.
• 9 – staReqAssociationWithoutAuth – Client not authorized yet, still attempting to associate with an access point.
• 99 – missingReasonCode – Client momentarily in an unknown state.
