Hi Christopher-- 10.04.4 (kernel: Linux ubuntu 2.6.32-38-generic #83-Ubuntu) continues to have a steady signal for me (though, ironically enough, as I was typing this message, signal strength went down to 0% a few times, though it didn't seem to disconnect/reconnect)
Let's assume a regression was introduced sometime after this kernel. Can you give me a sense of what I'd need to do from here on out? I've poked around a bit on this today and it seems like the next steps would be for me to: 1. Keep narrowing down which kernel (and eventually, using git-bisect, identify the diffs that) introduced the regression. 2. Submit the properly documented bug report to the kernel-wireless mailing list. 3. Hope the maintainer of the ipw2200 driver takes this on, given all his other priorities. 4. Be available to test any kernel patches. 5. Apply the patched kernel to all kernel updates I accept from Ubuntu until the patch makes it into Ubuntu. Any shortcuts? ;) If this was my personal machine I might be inclined to keep going through all those steps, even though it sounds pretty intimidating for a non-developer like me. But this is a friend's machine and the longer I keep it while troubleshooting, the longer she's without a working computer where she is. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1027747 Title: 8086:4220 WiFi (signal strength and connection) drops intermittently: 12.04, Intel 2200BG (ipw2200) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1027747/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
