I get just cable at home and wireless at university, everything's fine, except that I still get disconnected from the university wlan about every 30 minutes. net-auto-wireless didn't change a thing in this regard. Here's an excerpt from everything.log, pretty beginning with bootup. The reconnects in there are from manually running '/etc/rc.d/net-auto-wireless restart', the thing that I tried to avoid. I have no idea why these disconnects happen:
I cannot see any reason for the disconnects. If wpa_supplicant doesn't reconnect on its own, I don't understand why restarting it would help. Can you compare 'ifconfig' before and after disconnect, as well as 'rfkill list'?
The 'rfkill list' output is identical, ifconfig is different, but I don't know how to interpret the output: $ diff -u disconnected connected --- disconnected 2011-10-08 14:38:12.055378633 +0200 +++ connected 2011-10-08 14:38:37.681563015 +0200 @@ -15,10 +15,12 @@ TX packets 876 bytes 67260 (65.6 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 -wlan0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 metric 1 +wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 metric 1 + inet 143.205.193.100 netmask 255.255.254.0 broadcast 143.205.193.255 + inet6 fe80::222:69ff:fe73:3c68 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether 00:22:69:73:3c:68 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) - RX packets 560395 bytes 839856020 (800.9 MiB) - RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 30809 - TX packets 286257 bytes 21785827 (20.7 MiB) - TX errors 6 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 + RX packets 560422 bytes 839862941 (800.9 MiB) + RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 30854 + TX packets 286289 bytes 21789274 (20.7 MiB) + TX errors 8 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 device interrupt 17 Any ideas?
