[Bug 945379] Re: Wireless connection randomly drops
After a few days of testing this, I got the same inability to connect to wifi (wpa2, 802.11n). I start thinking it might not be the driver, but something else. I get the feeling that it works in the begining and after a while something happens (like something getts full) and there I have it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/945379 Title: Wireless connection randomly drops To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/945379/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It's not something I've measured and would probably have to done in context that streaming lots of data probably has impact elsewhere too (disk, CPU, etc.) so would need to be done with a variety for use cases and at different loads. For me I haven't noticed any significant power or performance difference during typical use, except my network stack doesn't crash. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/945379 Title: Wireless connection randomly drops To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/945379/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I tried this and I did not see any difference. The solution that worked for me (I only tested it in the last 24 hours with 5-6 high speed torrent downloads 3-4 MB/s) was replacing the driver (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1085620#p1085620): 1º install kernel linux-headers 2º wget http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 (or manually download compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 from that folder, it is the latest daily source) 3º tar jxvf compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 4º cd compat-wirelesstab 5º make 6º sudo make install 7º sudo make unload 8º Reboot and try... If it doesn't resolve the problem do: cd compat-wirelesstab sudo make uninstall and reboot I will update this in few days to let you know if I had any problem. PS: In a short test, the latest kernel 3.4 RC6 (http://kernel.ubuntu.com /~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.4-rc6-precise/) did not do the job. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/945379 Title: Wireless connection randomly drops To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/945379/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Maybe there is someone else from here who installed Precise Pangolin.

Yes, it is a very old and nasty bug, I could see it during the last Ubuntu versions. I get it once in a while (minutes/hours, depending on how much traffic I make); it disconnects the Wifi (WPA2) connection and I cannot connect back to it. Usually a restart either of the router, or of the ubuntu system makes it work again (until it disconnects again) (haven't tried disablingenabling the adapter since Natty).

This issue appears to be an upstream bug, since you tested the latest upstream kernel. Would it be possible for you to open an upstream bug report at bugzilla.kernel.org [1]? That will allow the upstream Developers to examine the issue, and may provide a quicker resolution to the bug. If you are comfortable with opening a bug upstream, It would be great if you can report back the upstream bug number in this bug report. That will allow us to link this bug to the upstream report.

[Bug 945379] Re: Wireless connection randomly drops
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.3 kernel[1] (Not a kernel in the daily directory). Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag(Only that one tag, please leave the other tags). 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. If this bug is fixed by the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream-KERNEL-VERSION'. For example, if kernel version 3.3-rc6 fixed the issue, the tag would be: 'kernel-fixed- upstream-v3.3-rc6'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as Confirmed. Thanks in advance.

[Bug 945379] Re: Wireless connection randomly drops
Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue. However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further testing. This is such a request. We have noted that there is a newer version of the development kernel than the one you last tested when this issue was found. Please test again with the newer kernel and indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not. You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the following commands in a terminal window: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Fix Released. If you want this bot to quit automatically requesting kernel tests, add a tag named: bot-stop-nagging. Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete ** Tags added: kernel-request-3.2.0-18.28 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/945379 Title: Wireless connection randomly drops To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/945379/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
