Re: Fw: 9825 wireless card auto disconnects!
Thanks Greg, The connection still fails over an open network. The only difference is that the SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 error does not occur with /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up, viz: [r...@slinux sluser]# `/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 down; /sbin/modprobe -r ath9k` [r...@slinux sluser]# /sbin/modprobe ath9k; /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up [r...@slinux sluser]# exit Thanks for the suggestions Greg, but I can't tinker with the machine, given that it's a wrong specification and I expect it to be swapped for what was originally requested. Unfortunately, I now have to make do as everything is taking forever ...

To: William Shu ws...@yahoo.com Date: Tuesday, August 31, 2010, 5:32 AM I had trouble with the Atheros cards when I installed Ubuntu on a friend's Toshiba Laptop. On my own Dell laptop, the stock Broadcom card gave me trouble...so I simply bought an Intel card for about $25.00, and it works perfectly (running Slackware and Debian). I have also often noticed a great difference in performance of the wireless cards, between a Live DVD environment, and a full-blown hard-drive-installed environment. Does it connect successfully to a free and open network, such as at the library? My suggestion - see if you can find a cheap Intel card that is compatible with your Compaq.
