I have a Fedora 18 machine in the kitchen that has an internal pci 802.11 b/g/n card. For nearly a year, it's been working pretty good. Now for the past couple of weeks, the network just stops working for a few minutes at a time.
If I ping during that time, I get no responses. If I keep a ping running the whole time I eventually start getting "no buffer space" messages. Usually, it just starts working again in 3-4 minutes. But I don't see anything in dmesg or /var/log/messages before, during or after the outage. The wifi thinks it's connected the whole time. I'm in the middle of a fedup (18-19) to see if that fixes it, but I have never seen an issue like this, and since there is nothing in the logs, I'm not sure what to pursue. I have replaced the wifi card with a new one. The new one does basically the same thing. Anybody have any brilliant ideas?
