[Bug 481432] Re: [Karmic] wireless connection keeps dropping - WPA TKIP
Well, I'm going back to school for another five weeks. I'm not really a coder, so I'll leave it to others to look into source code and such. However, I do have a few more ideas for tests that can be performed. This entire bug is predicated on the idea that a certain type of encryption wreaks havoc with Ubuntu's ability to use Wireless. So, I would perform some tests whereby a WAP is set to use several types of encryption, such as WEP and various WPA flavors. The test outcome should look something like this: Location 1 WEP: n dB WPA: n dB WPA TKIP: ndB WPA2: n dB Location 2 WEP: n dB WPA: n dB WPA TKIP: ndB WPA2: n dB And so on. If anyone else wants to do some testing, feel free. Otherwise, wait a few weeks and I'll do it myself. -- [Karmic] wireless connection keeps dropping - WPA TKIP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/481432 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 481432] Re: [Karmic] wireless connection keeps dropping - WPA TKIP
Nice program there -- I've never used wavemon before. In all my previous tests, I was just repeatedly issuing iwconfig and averaging the results. I don't see the same results as you, where your signal repeatedly drops really low. I do get the occasional drop in signal quality, but it's neither as pronounced nor as consistent as what you see. Still, the basic effect is the same. Ubuntu doesn't properly sense wireless signals, and thus connection quality fails. I wouldn't be surprised if your occasional drop in signal quality is enough to kill your connection, especially if it lasts for more than a second. I've mentioned that I want to figure out what the broadcast power is under Vista. I couldn't find any way to directly measure how much power is being sent to my wireless card under Vista, but I designed a test that effectively tells me the same thing. I logged into my WAP/Router, and found a tool which reports the signal quality of devices communicating with the WAP. The tool does not report signal quality in dB or nW, but rather as a percentage (of the theoretical best connection quality). So, I went to various locations around my house, started pinging google with my laptop, and looked at the signal quality as reported by the WAP. Note that the location numbers below correspond with the location numbers I gave in post #29. Location 1 Ubuntu: 100% Vista: 100% Location 2 Ubuntu: 90+% Vista: 99-100% Location 3 Ubuntu: 100% Vista: 100% #--# So what does it all mean? Here's my best shot at interpreting these numbers thus far. If a computer and WAP are having trouble communicating, then there are four possible problems. 1) WAP is not properly sending a signal. 2) WAP is not properly receiving a signal. 3) Computer is not properly sending a signal. 4) Computer is not properly receiving signal. I know, this is really broad so far, but stick with me for a few paragraphs. Case 1 and 2 are immediately ruled out. There are several different wireless devices in my house which use the WAP. My iPod touch, two other family members' laptops, and my own laptop (running Vista) all communicate with the WAP just fine. If the WAP was not properly sending or receiving signals, all the other people in this household would be having problems, too. Furthermore, my computer only has problems when running Ubuntu, further indicating that the problem lies with a particular computer, not the WAP. Case 3 is also ruled out. Why? Well, the tests I just performed indicate that the WAP receives signals just fine, whether Vista or Ubuntu is broadcasting those signals. I verified this empirically in this post. The absolute lowest quality signal that the WAP sensed was 90%. A signal quality that high should be just fine for communication. Furthermore, I did some research on the intertubes, and several technical folks seem to think that 100mW of power being sent to a wireless card is more than enough. As I understood it, 80mW of power is the point of diminishing returns -- send more power than that to a wireless card, and you're not getting much benefit. They were even discussing using 30 to 40mW of power in wireless cards. Therefore, the 100mW of power that Ubuntu sends to my wireless card should be plenty enough. So far, cases 1, 2, and 3 are ruled out. My WAP is working just fine (case 1 and 2), and a strong enough signal is being sent to from my laptop (case 3). That leaves case 4: Ubuntu is not properly receiving signals. I verified this empirically in post #29. Now, why and how Ubuntu fails to receive signals is up for debate. Perhaps, as Smot indicates, Ubuntu is simply under-estimating signal strength. Maybe Ubuntu tells the wireless card to listen to the wrong frequency/channel. This is, by the way, possible: the frequencies defined for use in the 802.11 standard are SO close that one could be listening on channel 10 and receive signals on channel 11. #--# Well, that was a long-winded way of saying that Ubuntu has problems. :'( Thanks for the feedback, Smot. -- [Karmic] wireless connection keeps dropping - WPA TKIP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/481432 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for some really useful info, ichimonji10. I haven't been able to get such empirical measurements as you, but your results do agree with the symptoms I get here. When booted into Vista, wifi availability throughout my house is good - I never experience any dropouts. With Ubuntu 9.10, the connection drops frequently. It's not a regular as clockwork thing as sometimes it will stay connected for an hour or so, then other times I can't stay online for more than a few minutes. Sometimes it reconnects quickly, but mostly I struggle to get it to reconnect and have to give up and return to Vista. Is the bit of software Vistumbler freely available?

[Bug 481432] Re: [Karmic] wireless connection keeps dropping - WPA TKIP
I've installed Vistumbler, and under Vista, sitting in my usual armchair, I get a consistent -47db. Using wavemon in Ubuntu, in the same place, it sits mostly at -60db and, roughly every 2 seconds drops dramatically to -80db for a brief moment. I'm wondering if this occasional drop is sufficiently low for the connection to be lost. Do you see the same effect in your environment? Also, interestingly, I can see around 8 wifi networks available in my area within Vista, but generally only three or four in the Network Manager list in Ubuntu. Very often, mine is the only one listed while another family member (using Windows 7) can see many more. I may be wrong, but I'm not aware of a way in which the receptive strength of a wifi interface can be altered by software. The implication is that Ubuntu is somehow under-estimating the strength of signals, and making incorrect decisions on connectivity based on this evaluation.

[Bug 481432] Re: [Karmic] wireless connection keeps dropping - WPA TKIP
Aside from restarting my computer, the surest way to reset my wireless connection is to issue: sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart I've tried turning off power management and increasing broadcast signal strength. Hey, maybe the problem lies not in Ubuntu, but in the wireless signal strength? Turning off power management did little. I tried issuing this: sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off While that command sucessfully turned off power management, doing so did not help me with my wireless connection. I also tried changing signal strength: sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower 120mW OR sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower 25 However, neither of these commands completed sucessfully. I can, however, lower the broadcast strength of my wireless signal. For example, I can set the txpower to less than 100mW, and less than 20dBm. It appears that there is a limit on how much power I can sent to my wireless card. My default signal strength is 20dBm anyway, so these settings don't help me. I suspect that the problem with my connection, may be as simple as a low broadcast power. Here's why: 1) From where I'm sitting, my laptop detects a connection strength of approx. -77dBm. It varies between -73 and -83. (oops -- my connection just dropped. Moving closer to WAP) 2) From where I'm sitting, my iPod touch detects a connection strength of approx -57dBm. It also varies between -53 and -61. 3) Both my wireless router, my iPod touch, and my laptop all include wireless N capable chipsets. All devices are operating at the 2.462GHz frequency. 4) All other (two) laptops used in this house have no problems connecting to WAP. They use wireless G. 5) Even when my laptop is THREE feet away from WAP, signal strength is still -55dBm (-53 to -59). That is TERRIBLE. iPod touch reports signal strength between -32 and -42 dBm. 6)From experimentation at school, I have found that my iPod touch does not establish a wireless connection if signal strength is below -75dBm. As a good rule of thumb, I try to make sure that the signal strength is above -72dBm. 7) When running Vista on this laptop, connection strength is MUCH better.

[Bug 481432] Re: [Karmic] wireless connection keeps dropping - WPA TKIP
I've done a little testing, using both Vista SP2 and Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop. I went around to various locations in my house and tested the signal level my laptop was sensing. I used iwconfig to test the sensed signal level under Ubuntu and Vistumbler to test the sensed signal level under Vista. I do not yet know how to test transmit power (in either mW or dBm) under Vista, so that set of tests will have to wait. Location 1 Ubuntu: -67 to -75dB Vista: -44dB Location 2 Ubuntu: -79 to -87dB Vista: -59dB Location 3 Ubuntu: -68dB Vista: -44dB For what it's worth, I'm still using WPA2 security. I checked the transmit signal strength on my WAP, and it's set to high (though it gave no actual numbers -- just the option of low, medium, and high).

I can, in the same position in my house, always get a good signal on my Nokia N95 (wifi). So, I think that this is a software problem especially as, previously, I used a modified set up of Ubuntu 8.04 on this computer and the wireless worked just fine. -- [Karmic] wireless connection keeps dropping - WPA TKIP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/481432 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 481432] Re: [Karmic] wireless connection keeps dropping - WPA TKIP
I am also using the Intel 3945 Wireless Card. Connection drops every minute when using WPA - Personal TKIP. If I leave a constant ping on, it will stop pinging my router when the connection drops Sometimes the Network Manager will flash the tool tip saying disconnected, then reconnect. But other days it does not and the pinging just stops. Other laptop I am using has a Broadcom card that does not drop, also running Ubuntu 9.10. -- [Karmic] wireless connection keeps dropping - WPA TKIP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/481432 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
