So I want to sum up my 1 week experience with the backport installed packages.
I'm: - running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid - running Network Manager Applet 0.8 - on a Lenovo X200 - with 2.9G of Memory (according to the System Monitor) - with a 320G harddrive at 67% full - connection driver is iwlagn - connect at work (using WEP), home (using WPA2), and various airports, hotels, coffee shops. I want to report on my experience with the backports. Prior to installing the backport files, I would EVERY DAY loose my wireless network connection ... sometimes in a few minutes and sometimes a few hours into the day. Reconnecting was virtually impossible. If I suspended, there was a 50/50 chance that it would connect upon waking up. USUALLY (but not always) a reboot would fix the problem. Last Friday (8/20), I installed from Synaptic Package Manager: - linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic - linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.32-24-generic Results: - I did NOT have a single drop all week - I was able to reconnect from suspend EVERY time, at least every morning when I reconnected from suspending the night before - I've not rebooted at all since I rebooted after installing the above packages last Friday (1 week ago) The ONLY significant difference is the application of the backports modules. I did not change NetworkManager nor my wireless LAN settings, etc. I'm a VERY happy camper!! -- unstable wireless with iwlagn https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/583210 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
