against: * ubuntu 2.6.32-26-generic * http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/lp215802/linux-image-2.6.32-28-generic_2.6.32-28.55+LP215802v1_i386.deb (md5sum 3578ab4e4757ea2c5f53b3d43fa75c78). With 2.6.32-26-generic, the device fell over after about an hour, with Jan 15 00:25:14 ubuntu kernel: [279647.500012] No probe response from AP <redacted> after 500ms, disconnecting. The signal strength was pretty good, -38db, link quality 70/70. With the test kernel, the device has been solidly up for nearly 24h. Signal strength similar, -38db +/- a few db, quality 65/70. Looks like this fixes it for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/215802 Title: rtl8187 link quality poor -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
