It is a long shot, but is there anything interesting in the differences
between the packages you've listed?
Perhaps a bug fix in wireless-tools-29-8.1 or a patch to ath9k in
kernel-3.8.2-206 may be the key here....
Well, I have something even stranger here... After days of trying
different things, reinstalling, resetting the access point and whatnot,
now I cannot make the wifi drop out anymore.
I don't quite understand what happened... I loaded F18 onto the system
and left it going for a while to test. Zero dropouts. I went back to
SL6.4 Beta 2, and since then, no dropouts.
As I type this, the system has been up for 3h 15m, and not a single drop
on wifi.
Why? I have no idea. What caused it? I have no idea. What changed? I
have no idea.
I'm using the same SL6.4B2 that I installed previously. I'm using the
same kernel that I was before. I'm doing the same traffic as I was before.
Either way, the dropouts seem to be fixed.
Pat: If you have the same issue, out of interest, try loading Fedora 18
- see if it still drops out - if not, reload SL and see if it still
drops out. I would be amazed if that did something that caused the
problem to go away...
