This problem affects me on my Macbook 5,1 running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit Running on battery does not make this problem worse for me.

Re: [Bug 488340] Re: Broadcom STA Wireless driver for bcm4322 silently disconnects frequently
@reason: broadcom uses firmware that is exclusive to microsoft. I think the easiest way to solve this is switch to a generic atheros or intel wifi card.

Confirmed... same findings as well. the broadcom driver does not perform very well compared to other wireless peripherals. my device is an hp mini 1116nr with bcm 4312.

[Bug 488340] Re: Broadcom STA Wireless driver for bcm4322 silently disconnects frequently
I was able to get my issues resolved by using the proprietary drivers available on Broadcom's Linux site, and compiling the driver myself (replacing the one provided by the Ubuntu package): http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php The latest driver (5.60.48.36 as of this writing) worked flawlessly, and the random disconnect issues have been fixed.

[Bug 488340] Re: Broadcom STA Wireless driver for bcm4322 silently disconnects frequently
I have this issue on Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 running on a Dell Latitude 2100, which has a Broadcom BCM4322 wireless adapter. In my case, I've ping tested several times from 4 different (wireless) machines on the same network, including the netbook with the issue. The other thee machines have 0% packet loss (tested 1000 pings), the netbook has between 13 and 25%. So I know it's not the wireless router. Also, since I'm seeing packet loss with ping testing, the trick of pinging to keep the connection alive, as described by theisu, doesn't seem to work.

I'm also affected but my chipset is a BCM4312 802.11a/b/g (rev 02). Problem occurs since I use a new Wireless-Access-Point with Atheros 11n chipset (Atheros AR5416 MAC/BB Rev:2 AR2122 RF Rev:81). AP running OpenWrt with ath9k-driver (Kernel 2.6.30.10). Connection except of disconnects rocking fast. When I use b43 driver connection is stable but slow (b43 problem). Problem is not related to AP because other hardware has no problem with it. ** Tags added: bcmwl -- Broadcom STA Wireless driver for bcm4322 silently disconnects frequently https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488340 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

[Bug 488340] Re: Broadcom STA Wireless driver for bcm4322 silently disconnects frequently
I would imagine that the driver turns off the wifi card to save power. I tried using iwconfig to disable such features, but it didn't help. However, I have experienced this problem during times of heavy use because I watch movies over a network share while using wireless.

[Bug 488340] Re: Broadcom STA Wireless driver for bcm4322 silently disconnects frequently
I think this is an important observation: As long as the connection is in use, it is not dropped. For example, if a ping command sends packets every second, the connection does not die. This is also a (somewhat dirty) workaround for the problem. Maybe the wireless chipset / driver turns off the radio to save energy when not in use? -- Broadcom STA Wireless driver for bcm4322 silently disconnects frequently https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488340 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
