Replying to [ticket:1951 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
> 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.
