I've been tracking this bug for a while hoping for a fix. Yesterday, I was looking at bug reports in OpenChrome and noticed this:
http://www.openchrome.org/trac/ticket/288 Near the end is a mention of a patch http://www.openchrome.org/trac/attachment/ticket/288/openchrome_741_hp_2133.patch I applied this to the SVN openchrome code (revision 747), compiled and installed it and voila, I haven't had an issue with wireless disconnects using either the b43 driver or the STA driver. I was able to watch videos in vlc without seeing any wireless disconnects. I'm currently running a fully up-to-date Jaunty on the XSVGA (1024x600) model. ** Bug watch added: OpenChrome Trac #288 http://www.openchrome.org/trac/ticket/288 ** Bug watch added: www.openchrome.org/trac/attachment/ #288 http://www.openchrome.org/trac/attachment/ticket/288 -- [HP 2133 MiniNote laptop] Unexpected and unrecoverable wireless disconnect with B43 driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331952 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
