Update: I received the Penguine Wireless N USB adapter for GNU/Linux, plugged it in, using one of jxself's kernels that I had installed earlier and everything worked without a problem. Took seconds to install instead of spending days trying to get the other card working to no avail. It was a

While it isn't realistic that free software drivers/firmware will work indefinitely (and we certainly wouldn't claim that) but there is a certain level of community support behind these drivers and support over the long haul. These drivers have been pushed into the mainline kernel and things

jxself, Tried the other router, with nothing connected wireless or wired except the modem. Used the Atheros card to try and connect. Didn't work. Tried 3 kernels, all the same response when giving up: deauthenticating by local choice reason 3. Each of the kernels were slightly different

Chris, Interesting. Like Mic sings, You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometime... Looking at some bug reports I was amazed at how torturous bad code can be to hardware. Temporarily freezing it up and so on. Also in looking over the various outputs, there is WAY MORE

It absolutely should work. That it doesn't sounds like buggy software. But where? In the kernel? In the router? Elsewhere? My previously laptop had a WiFi card that used ath9k instead of your which uses ath5k. My friend had a WiFi router that I'd try to use and there was a bug in his

jxself, Man, you are full of ideas! I've never tried using the computer with a different WiFi router, I've only had the computer a couple of weeks. I could do that as I have another router, not hooked up at the moment. When I have some time, I'll try that and report back. Also, I will

jxself, Tried the new linux-libre32. Same deauthenticating message as with the other kernels. When I test the other router I will try it with the various kernels, just in case. Also will check the dd-wrt forum.

Hi. I apologize for the length of this post. I have been trying to figure out why my wifi card will not work (it apparently should, and it almost does). Hopefully someone may know whether something is simply misconfigured or maybe knows for a fact that there are issues that cannot be

Out of curiosity are other devices connected to the WiFi base station when this is happening? I'd like to know what happens if there are no other devices connected (reboot the router for good measure as well) and then try with only the laptop using the base station. Also, what is the make

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that! There are all sorts of things attached to the router. Funny though why the other devices, even on the x60s work via that router without incident. I will clean it out and see. The router is a TP-Link TL-WR741ND v4 with the most recent firmware that will

The older Atheros G wireless mini pcie chipsets don't work terribly well... They should sort of work from my experience although there are things which won't work well or at all like power management, etc. That said I'm not sure this is the problem your having. Did you swap the wireless card
