To explicitly answer your new requests to the best of my ability: + Is this a regression? + Does this occur with other wireless access points?
I don't know. I never into it before AFAIR. But the situation is obviously special and occurs only where a roaming setup of several AP with the same ESSID is deployed. Furthermore, it's safe to assume that an airport such as HKG is wifi-busy. The problem might not occur in other, less congested environments. I have never experienced the problem since and connected fine to a few wifi networks (but in less congested areas and without a roaming setup as far as I am aware of). + Does this problem occur in mainline? untested at the moment, still pending as tagged + Does the access point in Hong Kong have some firmware bug or access policy that does not permit Ubuntu/Linux clients? I think we should assume no. I was able to surf for several minutes at a time. + What is the manufacturer and model of the access point? that's a silly question. I don't know. I'm not going to contact the airport and ask them. There *IS* a limit to what I will do to help bug triage. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1025638 Title: frequent disconnects To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1025638/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
