Title:
[iwlwifi] Wifi roams frequently and ends up disconnected
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Since moving from 10.04 to 12.04 (via a clean install), my WiFi
connection at work frequently roams from one AP to another (even
though the laptop has not been moved), and ultimately fails to connect
at all.
If I move to a different location in the facility, the problem goes
away. Thus, I suspect it's a function of the relative signal quality
of the various APs.
When the laptop is booted into Windows 7, in the location (my office)
that is most problematic, the WiFi connection is stable. When I'm
running Ubuntu at home or another place where there's a single AP, the
connection is stable.
My adapter is an Intel 5300 with the iwlwifi driver. Security
settings on the work network are WPA2 Enterprise, PEAP, MSCHAPv2. The
APs are Cisco, but I don't have access to their configuration or model
info.
When I ran apport for this bug report, I also had a wired connection
plugged in, so I could be sure I'd complete the process. The problem
I'm reporting happens without that wired connection.
I'll attach two syslogs. One shows the typical sequence when the
connection roams spontaneously. The other shows the sequence when
wifi ultimately fails to connect at all.
I'm available to try alternative configurations and packages.
