Like tarung1793 says it's sometimes up and sometimes down for me, even with the linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic packages installed.

I had a similar problem with 10.04, I am using WPA2-Personal security on my wireless router and I am repeatedly asked for the passphrase. I switched to WEP security and the link worked with no problem. I solved the original WPA2 problem by downloading, compiling and installing the Realtek 8187L kernel module (driver) version 1039 from the Realtek site [URL=http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1PNid=24PFid=1Level=6Conn=5DownTypeID=3GetDown=falseDownloads=true]here[/URL] My conclusion is that there is a bug with WPA2 support in the RTL8187 module included in 10.04 -- wireless internet problem on WG111v3 (RTL8187b) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459732 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I don't see what more I can say but here goes: * This machine is a clean install of lucid, I did not dist-upgrade from karmic. * Before upgrading, to keep the network up some of the time I had a cron job that did 'ifdown wlan1 sleep 10 ifup wlan1' every 4 minutes (the disassociation occured every 5 minutes). I disabled this cron job. * I did an aptitude full-upgrade on 2010-05-10 (or 09, not sure), which pulled in the packages noted in #12. * I rebooted, with the USB device attached. * The system is normally left running with nobody logged in to a gnome session. I did not try logging in to gnome and looking for instability. * I don't have wicd or network-manager installed. I have an entry for the device in /etc/network/interfaces, so it should be getting configured by 'ifupdown' (see #10). * As far as I can tell from 'dbus-monitor --system' dbus is not controlling the device, although there is a control file for network interfaces in /etc/dbus-1/. This might change if I start a gnome session but I haven't tried this. Questions for tarung1793: * Do you have the linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic package installed. I suspect that is where the fix was applied. * When you say 'not always working' what exactly do you mean - for example: - it works every other boot, or - it works one boot in 10, or - it randomly fails and resumes even without rebooting. * I think it would help to post some dmesg or syslog excerpts of boots where the device is working and where the device failing (while you are running 2.6.32-22), to help the maintainers understand what is happening differently in the works and not working cases. * What is controlling the network device - wicd, nm, ifupdown? * Is your machine running a fresh install of lucid or did you dist-upgrade? It could be there is some cruft left behind by the upgrade. -- wireless internet problem on WG111v3 (RTL8187b) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459732 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This seems to be only a temporary workaround, You may or may NOT get your wifi working permanently, it may happen that you just login in to your system and your card is working and the next time it is not..

i was not able to directly upgrade to the new kernel, but i installed kernel v2.6.34.rc-7-lucid, from the ubuntu mainstream kernel site, WG111v3 NOW WORKS, but only after 2-3 restarts, i dont know why it happens, but i hv tried it twice. if read the changelog for the versions between the two kernels, there has been some activity in the rtl series chipsets, that might be the reason for this.

This appears to be fixed for me, after the following upgrades (excerpted from /var/log/apt/history.log) Install: linux-headers-2.6.32-22 (2.6.32-22.33), linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic (2.6.32-22.33), linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.32-22-generic (2.6.32-22.13) linux-headers-2.6.32-22-generic (2.6.32-22.33) Upgrade: linux-headers-generic (2.6.32.21.22, 2.6.32.22.23) linux-image-generic (2.6.32.21.22, 2.6.32.22.23) linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic (2.6.32.21.22, 2.6.32.22.23), linux-libc-dev (2.6.32-21.32, 2.6.32-22.33) linux-generic (2.6.32.21.22, 2.6.32.22.23) linux-source-2.6.32 (2.6.32-21.32, 2.6.32-22.33) There were other upgrades but I doubt they were relevant. The changelogs were not especially helpful, there was one reference to #567016 which addresses another realtek driver (rtl8192se).

I am happy with other things besides one problem .: that my wireless card card is not supported by ubuntu ..: it is netgear wg111v3 having RTL8187B chipset . It was not working in jaunty and neither it is working 'satisfactorily' in karmic . I even tried updating to kernel 2.6.32 rc5 after performing an dist-upgarde ( i installed karmic from the beta cd )(through my ethernet)but that thing also didn't worked out .. Karmic detects the device right also it displays my network correctly but when i try to connect to it , karmic wont connect, it again and again keeps on asking for the password , i tried both wpa 1 and 2 (I am sure to enter the password right )., tried to set the mtu value to 1492 but none works .. It connected only once but drops out fast. i am trying to connect to it for a week now and finally decided to file a bug for it.. I could not get to attatch the files through ubuntu , so i did it through mediafire. Sorry for this.. http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=345986bfa1c8a9a0ab1eab3e9fa335caa4dfc49de1de54d8 I hope Ubuntu Team would take it seriously( As many other people are also facing problems ) .

I have also tested the kernel 2.6.33, that doesnt works either.

Hi tarung1793, This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report. apport-collect -p linux 459732 Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.
