[Bug 215802] Re: rtl8187 link quality poor

2009-07-10 Thread Freemor
The problem persists in Jaunty. Misreported Signal level and low range.

I did a   apport-collect -p linux-image-`uname -r` 215802 as per kernel-
janitors request. I can not provide the same on newer kernels or Karmic
as this is a mission critical machine. the problem as severe enough to
have me move to a wired connection (luckily in my case the machine lives
in the same room as the router).

If I can be of further assistance let me know. if no one can offer info
from Karmic or a newer kernel I may be able to boot from the karmic live
CD late one night and see if the problem is still alive in Karmic and if
so get the apport-collect output for you. If I can generate further
meaningful info without having to jump out of Jaunty I'd be glad to do
so.

regards,
Freemor

[Bug 215802] Re: rtl8187 link quality poor

2008-10-30 Thread Freemor
Just an update.. After some more testing it seems that although I am
having a false high noise level causing a false low link quality it
seems that I am not suffering the dropped connections and lost packets
others are reporting.

The false high noise level/low link quality is concerning however so I
still feel that the problems with the RTL8187 should be noted in the
release notes until this is resolved.

2008-10-29 Thread Freemor
I can confirm this problem.
uname -a
Linux flaptop 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 24 06:42:44 UTC 2008 i686 
GNU/Linux

link quality is tragically low even when I sit the laptop right beside
tha access point. Was working 95% o.k. in 8.04.1 (small problem with
dropped connections under heavy load but that was easy to deal with)

the my wireless is now mostly 95% broken because the range is about 10
feet.

using cat /proc/net/wireless shows

Inter-| sta-|   Quality|   Discarded packets   | Missed | WE
 face | tus | link level noise |  nwid  crypt   frag  retry   misc | beacon | 22
 wlan0:    19.   65130  0  0  0  00

as you can see the noise level is seriously high which it wasn't before
upgrading and I can tell from other laptops that the high noise value is
a false reading of some sort. (I'm fairly rural.. not a lot of
interference)

Please set this to high priority. And definitely strongly warn people
before they upgrade as this will render any laptop with a built-in
rtl8187 (which are many) nearly useless for mobile use. And it wil be a
big shock to people coming from the stable environment of Hardy.

if you need me to post more info let me know

2008-04-21 Thread Freemor
I can confirm that this bug is present in a fully up-to-date Hardy
install (release candidate)

I have 2 profiles/locations set:

profile 1. Roaming - the default set-up with all interfaces in roaming mode
profile 2. Home - with wireless settings for my home router and roaming on the 
wireless turned off

As long as I leave the settings on "Home" no problem. but if I stitch to 
"Roaming" the wireless password for "Home" gets Flushed.
The password for Roaming is never lost.. just for the manually configured 
profile/location

More playing around to day with various codecs/encoders.. managed to get
a non-fatal dequeueing error. Seems the encoder my be outstripping the
BT878. I have attached the related errors from syslog.

hope it is useful in tracking down the problem.

2006-09-28 Thread Freemor
seems to be a related problem so I'll post it here rather then a new bug
report.

tried to upgrade from Dapper (6.06.1) -> Edgy Beta

tried update-manager -c -d

Failed right after downloading all packages with a very no descriptive
error

since the sources.list had been updated (maybe update-manager should
restore sources.list if it fails)  tried with apt-get dist-upgrade

got the following error (seems python related also so I posted it here )

E: Couldn't configure pre-depend python-gtk2 for gnome-app-install,
probably a dependency cycle
