#1951: Thinkpad R51e with AR5212 and Mandriva 2008 & 2008.1 connection drops randomly without errors -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Type: defect Status: new | Priority: critical Component: madwifi: other | Version: v0.9.3.3 Keywords: | Patch_attached: 0 -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- I'm using a Thinkpad R51e with AR5212. The problems first occurred with Mandriva 2008 and still persist with 2008.1 (spring). This problem also appears to occur with Fedora 9. This problem doesn't occur with mandrake 2007.1 and older.
Mandrake 2008.1 installs the following packages automatically when joining a network over wireless for the first time: dkms-madwifi-0.9.3.3-5.r3114mdv2008.1 madwifi-kernel-laptop-latest-0.9.3.3-1.20080403.5.r3114mdv2008.1 madwifi-kernel-2.6.24.4-laptop-1mnb-0.9.3.3-5.r3114mdv2008.1 madwifi-0.9.3.3-5.r3114mdv2008.1 The current stock kernel on the install is: 2.6.24.4-laptop-1mnb The wireless connection to my AP at home or any AP at work just drops out after a while, sometimes an hour sometimes 20 minutes. No nodes are pingable except for the local interface address. When I refresh the list of AP's none appear. If I cycle the network with 'service network restart' the link is still down. There is nothing in syslog to show that an error has occurred. I've tried to rmmod ath_pci and then reload the interface but this does nothing. The only solution is to reboot the machine. This happens randomly and there is nothing in the logs anywhere near the time this happens. For instance it happend 10 minutes ago at 21:50 and the last entry in my syslog was at 21:20 which was a cron entry. -- Ticket URL: <http://madwifi.org/ticket/1951> madwifi.org <http://madwifi.org/> Multiband Atheros Driver for Wireless Fidelity ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
