Well, if wpasupplicant were to inherit the low niceness from the process, NM, which starts it then it might have had an interesting effect.
But I just tried both the "nice" Upstart stanza and the "nice" command in the "exec" Upstart stanza and was unable to change the niceness level of NM as revealed by "ps -eo nice,cmd", so it doesn't seem to be easy to play around with niceness of these processes to see if that has any effect (which would be interesting to know --- not a solution to the problem). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879173 Title: Wi-Fi connectivity interrupted by CPU high load; once load is reduced NM reconnects -- ath5k To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/879173/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
