Hi, I'm using openSuse 11.2 and my drop out problems stops when I run the following script:
> > while [ 1 ]; do VALUE=`iwconfig wlan0 | grep -o "Bit Rate=54 Mb/s" | wc -l` if [ "$VALUE" -ne "1" ]; then echo "iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M" iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M sleep 10 fi done > > It checks the result of the command iwconfig wlan0 and see if the bit rate is low, if so sets to 54M. After 10 seconds it checks again. I hope it could help someone... --- Luiz Gustavo On Sat, Dec 19, 2009 at 8:21 AM, mf <mat.fletc...@gmail.com> wrote: > I contacted Realtek by email since nobody answered this bugtrack thread, > whats the point in encouraging people to post here if nobody answers? > > Anyway, they were fairly helpful and emailed me this driver to compile > on Karmic, It works, i still get drop outs but it is not as bad as the > stock driver.
