I, too, run that Intel Wireless adapter on my Lenovo T61p and I, too, have terrible problems with the device. From failures in wireless connections all the way up to ACPI failures can be traced to this driver. (Hint: Macbook Pro and Lenovo T61p on a 802.11n network is a surefire way to kill the machine.) I've no solution that works every time. Sometimes disabling the wireless and reenabling it through nm-applet fixes it, other times restarting NetworkManager or reloading the modules are required and yet other times it seems only to respond to a full reboot. The problems occur on every type of connection and on every type of AP. In particular, my university's 802.1x Dynamic WEP with a bazillion APs with the same ssid is very challenging for NM to connect to. Some of this is related to nm-applet and some of it the driver. I've modified my nm-applet to connect to the highest signal strength AP with the same ssid. In nm-applet's applet-device-wifi.c a modification is required in add_one_ap_menu_item() to not only update the signal strength of the menu list, but also the AP that the higher strength was detected on. Otherwise it'll connect to the first AP its detected with the given ssid instead of the AP with the greatest strength. -Jake _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
