michael wang, as per http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/vostro-1000 an update is available for your BIOS (2.6.3). If you update to this does it change anything?
If not, regarding your comments https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1093542/comments/6 : >"Yes, this seems to have worked. I am using the b43 driver and the only issue >I see is that while the network icon in the status bar says "no connection" >the wicd network manager says the connection is ok. At first bootup the >network icon says it is connected but after about 10 minutes that icon says >the connection is lost but the wicd icon says the connection is good and I am >still able to use the network." I'm confused by this. As per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1093542/+attachment/3467319/+files/Lspci.txt you were initially using the b43 driver from the Ubuntu repositories https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/b43-fwcutter, correct? In https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1093542/comments/5 I asked you to test the drivers provided by Broadcom from the Ubuntu repositories (either https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl or https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/broadcom-sta) and report the results. Could you please clarify? Regarding your comments https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1093542/comments/8 : >"The network still does go down after installed the b43 drivers. Here is the >log after the install. It does seem to be better now than before. This log >entry looks like the kernel attempting to contact the wireless but then fails >and resets itself. It did come back after about a minute and should work for a >while." This comment does not make sense given my above comment. >" Is there a way to increase the time out for the probe from AP?" IDK. >"What is AP?"
