[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1071942] Re: [iwlwifi] Wifi roams too frequently
Hello, I also have this problem but not with an Intel WiFi card and I confirm that it's better with this patch. @Mathieu: NM devs say that some changes should be made in wpa_supplicant too in order to be less aggressive [1] Fedora devs are using this patch: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/wpa_supplicant.git/tree/rh837402-less-aggressive-roaming.patch [1] The discussion: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager- list/2013-October/msg00020.html ** Summary changed: - [iwlwifi] Wifi roams too frequently + Wifi roams too frequently -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1071942 Title: Wifi roams too frequently Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: (This is very similar to bug #1057582 - but apport-collect told me to file a new bug.)

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1071942] Re: [iwlwifi] Wifi roams too frequently
So there's this commit upstream which might help a lot to avoid roaming too aggressively when there is relatively good signal: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?h=nm-0-9-8id=49f8da57ed18b62829919ba4f278b410642828ec I'll go ahead and mark the next upload / package as fixing this bug (since it will include this commit); but let's be extra careful and set back this bug to New or Confirmed if there are still issues. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New = In Progress ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (mathieu-tl) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1071942 Title: [iwlwifi] Wifi roams too frequently Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: (This is very similar to bug #1057582 - but apport-collect told me to file a new bug.)

It literally roams every 5 minutes - and disconnects for 5 seconds while doing that.
