I'm experiencing some problems with wlan under 2.6.30. Very frequently I
have to restart wlan several times until a connection with my FritzBox
is established, even if I'm only 1 m away from the box. The command
'iwconfig wlan0' shows link qualities of the form 64/70, while under
kernel 2.6.29.5 it's always 98/100 or so (I don't know what the divisor
means, but I guess it should normally be 100). And sometimes I get
connections with a ridiculous bit rate of 1 Mb/s.
Meanwhile I fiddled a bit with the kernel parameters and managed to
improve things a lot. I think the problem was the (involuntary)
activation of WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY (Networking support / Wireless /
Old wireless static regulatory definitions). After setting it to "no",
Wlan connections happen fast and reliable again, although they still
don't survive suspend-to-RAM, as they did in 2.6.29. Link quality is
also much better now.
Regards,
Bernd
