[gentoo-user] Losing connectivity with orinoco_pci driver

2003-03-27 Thread Steely, Kevin (CCI-Atlanta)
Hey guys,

I got my Linksys WMP11 PCI card working with my 802.11b Linksys router (WEP enabled) 
but when I try to download a large file, the card loses connection to the router.  The 
modules are still loaded but doing a iwconfig shows almost no information for the 
card.  The only way I've found to remedy this is to unload and reload the modules and 
run dhcpcd again.  

Has anyone else experienced this before?  It's a very annoying problem especially when 
trying to emerge mozilla :P  For the record, my connection is perfect for x amount of 
time...  but about 5mb into any download, the connection dies.  

Thanks for any help.

All the time!

I changed to the wlan_ng drivers (prism2) and they work much much better. I'm 
betting your log files will show lots of BAP 110 errors (I think that's 
right).

If you have a Prism2 chipset, I've found wlan_ng to be far superior.
