When I connect to my university's wireless network with my macbook, the connection is dropped in ~15 minutes without fail, forcing me to manually reconnect. Every time, dmesg leaves me with this little tid bit:
wlan0: deauthenticated from 00:21:d8:d5:1d:11 (Reason: 1) but I don't really know what that means. Back when I was using nm-applet, it would always leave "Roamed from [ESSID] to (none)" messages when this happened, so I assume it must have something to do with roaming. No other machines seem to have this problem, so it can't entirely be the network's fault, and I don't have this problem while running OS X, so it's not a defect in my wireless card. To my limited knowlege of these things, that leaves ath9k as the culprit. Here's the relevant info from lspci: 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0024] (rev 01) and my kernel version is 2.6.37.5-1. A couple extra comments: 1) Yes, the power management for my wireless card is set to "off" (according to iwconfig) 2) I don't know much about network stuff, or what stuff you need from me to be able to help me with the problem, but I would be willing to go to great lengths to get this fixed (it's driving me bonkers) so tell me what I need to do, and I'll try it. 3) If it's really just roaming without being able to find a new connection, I would rather give up roaming functionality entirely, and just set up the connection manually wherever I go, instead of dealing with this problem. Thanks, Luke
