[Bug 182473] Re: rtl8187 drops connection
I'm not being offered a 2.6.30 kernel - the latest I've got is 2.6.28-12 (jaunty). I've found that: 1. Manually decreasing the wireless speed does increase the data rate (maximum 12mbps is not really good enough for what I want to do though) 2. Uploading data to my home server will kill the connection very quickly - usually within a minute. The Ubuntu ISOs are a good test. This confirms what others were saying about peer-to-peer software killing the connection - it's the uploads, not the downloads. I now have Homeplug so I don't have to live with this, but I'll test what I can. -- rtl8187 drops connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182473 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

I tested Karmic Alpha 2 (kernel 2.6.30-8) via liveCD (actually it was a USB stick :) ). The driver reports stronger signal, it went from 15% in Jaunty to 65% in Karmic, although I 'm not really sure whether this really means anything or they just changed the method of measurement.

For me it's working perfectly since kernel 2.6.27-13. Everyone has different experience, but we must not forget that we are dealing with wireless networks here, unreliable and unpredictable by nature. A lot of things can influence the performance of the wireless device, distance from the access point, physical hurdles in between etc. So before we put the blame to the linux driver, we should always compare with the performance in the Windows environment to confirm that we are indeed affected by a bug and not by bad antenna position or anything else.

@malfist: if you just want to test it, try moving your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to something different like /etc/X11/xorg.conf- ati so that X boots with the open-source ATI driver (which works fine if you don't need high-performance 3d performance for games). If the 2.6.30 kernel fixes this bug and you want to keep it, you could remove the restricted driver and either try installing the ATI driver using envy-ng or download the Catalyst driver from AMD and install it manually.

I'm having even worse problem on Jaunty, 64-bit, with the most recent kernel (2.6.28-11-generic). My device (AWUS036H, RTL8187L chipset) does appear to create a connection to the router and even obtains ip address, but drops after 10-15 seconds. Also my network manager (wicd) fails to show correct signal level, making everything look as -1 dbm. I need not to reboot or even plug off my device in order to reconnect, but after reconnecting it would drop after a few seconds again... :( -- rtl8187 drops connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182473 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

I'm new to Linux (Ubuntu 64bit) and despite the tinkering required to get it working, I love it. My Toshiba laptop (dual boot with Vista) has one of these internal USB Wireless devices with the RTL8187B chipset. In the 7.x version of Ubuntu, I tried all the published hacks to get it working but could not get wpa/wpa2 to work. When I installed 8.10, it detected my D-Link dir-615 (WPA2) and connected without a fuss. Later, I used the 5.5m hack described previously and have since had a solid connection in different parts of the house without any drops. Therefore, I was surprised when connecting at Starbucks (ATT Wifi no encryption) that the signal kept dropping every few minutes and would require either disabling/enabling Network Manager applet or reboot, as described by other posters.

For those who don't mind recompiling kernel modules, an easy way to fix this is to build and install the compat-wireless package. (http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download) It's a backport of the latest drivers in kernel GIT. that will install in the /lib/your-kernel-version/updates/ directory, so that you can keep the drivers built into the kernel should you need to uninstall compat- wireless. (WARNING: These drivers are untested. They may not even compile, and could have bugs. Be aware that the Ubuntu Foundation, the people at linuxwireless.org, and myself are not responsible for any damage to your hardware, operating system, or personal health) Instructions for those that need them: 1. ) sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) 2. ) Go to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download#Directlydownloadingthetarball and download the tarball. 3. ) Untar the archive, open a terminal and navigate to the extracted directory. 4. ) Do the following: $ make $ sudo make install 5. ) Reboot. Or you can do: $ sudo make unload sudo make load Just use $ sudo make uninstall to get rid of them and revert to the old drivers. -- rtl8187 drops connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182473 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 182473] Re: rtl8187 drops connection
Several problems exist even using the new kernel 2.6.27 of Ubuntu 8.10 together with a new Toshiba Satellite L300-1CM Notebook and built-in RTL8187B USB module: 1) performance of the Wifi-module = This seems to be extremely worse in comparison to three different notebooks using Ubuntu 8.04 and OpenSUSE 10.3 together with WPA2 encryption. For the new Toshiba Satellite notebook I even had to relocate the WLAN router (now only 6 meter distance!) in order to get a connection at all - and now all other 3 notebooks have full signal strength at the WLAN-router while the new Toshiba Satellite notebook has the weakest incoming signal at the WLAN router. Though I know that this issue could be a mechanical / construction problem caused by the location of the WLAN module inside the Laptop I also saw similar issues reported by other users having different machines but the same WLAN module, so I guess that this could also be driver-related. 2) drop of connection Sometimes the connection gets lost without any hint what happend. If this problem occurs wicd still shows that the WLAN connection is up, but it's neither possible to ping the router nor to open any page in the browser. The only possibility for me to get things up and running ist to disconnect using wicd and to reconnect to my WLAN 3) hang of wicd == Just as a side-note: as mentioned above I use wicd as network-manager replacement. While disconnecting and reconnecting to my WLAN wicd seems to freeze / hang or call it whatever you want. In fact wicd manages it to finally perform all tasks, but it looks weird since even Gnome sometimes wants to tell me, that wicd is not responding and asks, if I would like to terminate wicd. If I cancel this question and wait some more seconds wicd finishes the action and everything is fine again. If requested I can provide additional stuff later on when I'm back at home (logfiles or anything else that might be helpful). -- rtl8187 drops connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182473 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 182473] Re: rtl8187 drops connection
@Ignorant: As far as I can tell it is linked to uploads, not downloads. When uploading to a local network, the speeds are very low and the connection is likely to drop out. When playing Nexuiz online, I get the Stopped Clock of Death (that indicates a connection loss). This explains why your bittorrent and P2P can cause the problem, but your FTP downloads do not. -- rtl8187 drops connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182473 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 182473] Re: rtl8187 drops connection
Hi all, I'm also experiencing a variation of this bug. My motherboard is Asus M2N DH with integrated RTL8187 USB module. The difference is I ONLY observe disconnection when I run p2p clients. At first I thought it had something to do with bittorrent, but recently I tried other programs like Amule and DC++ and I got exactly the same behaviour: Disconnection after a random amount of time, independently of number of connections / donwload/upload speed. Downloading via FTP, rapidshare etc. never kills the connection, in fact I get nearly maximum speeds. I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 with kernel 2.6.27-9. If any logged information is needed, I'd be happy to provide it. -- rtl8187 drops connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182473 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 182473] Re: rtl8187 drops connection
Still, this driver for me only works with WEP encryption, no WPA at all. And sometimes connection drops to 2-3%, but never gets lost, as in the default ubuntu driver. I tryed today Fedora Core 10, with kernel 2.6.27 and rtl8187, and you know what? It's works like a charm, no disconnects, WPA and WEP work perfectly. -- rtl8187 drops connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182473 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

Make sure that you follow the instructions from a folder that contains no spaces -- make is complaining since it thinks that the e from your folder .compilazioni e installer is an argument. -- rtl8187 drops connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182473 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

zenzike's instructions worked for me (8.10) also - much better reception and no dropouts (yet). If possible, this should be put into the main ubuntu line. Zenzike: the PCI ID of mine doesn't match yours but it worked anyway. It should work for all USB or internal wireless using the rtl8187 chipset. -- rtl8187 drops connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182473 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
