Every time i connect to a wireless network (no matter how strong the signal is), after 1-2 minutes, the connection is dropped and i have to manually start it again. This never happens with the ethernet connection. I'm currently testing this with a WEP connection using wifi-menu to connect to an already created profile (netcfg version 3). I have Arch x86-64 with a Broadcom  BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01) wireless card and use the b43 driver from AUR. On connect this is the dmesg: b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 666.2 (2011-02-23 01:15:07) IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 666.2 (2011-02-23 01:15:07) IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready wlan0: authenticate with 08:76:ff:3f:8b:90 wlan0: send auth to 08:76:ff:3f:8b:90 (try 1/3) wlan0: authenticated b43 ssb0:0: wlan0: disabling HT due to WEP/TKIP use b43 ssb0:0: wlan0: disabling HT as WMM/QoS is not supported wlan0: associate with 08:76:ff:3f:8b:90 (try 1/3) wlan0: RX AssocResp from 08:76:ff:3f:8b:90 (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=2) IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready wlan0: associated On connect this is the output from wpa_cli status: bssid=08:76:ff:3f:8b:90 ssid=xxx id=0 mode=station pairwise_cipher=WEP-40 group_cipher=WEP-40 key_mgmt=NONE wpa_state=COMPLETED ip_address=192.168.1.67 address=70:1a:04:f0:2a:bd After disconnection, this is from dmesg: ieee80211 phy0: wlan0: No probe response from AP 08:76:ff:3f:8b:90 after 500ms, disconnecting. cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain wlan0: authenticate with 08:76:ff:3f:8b:90 wlan0: send auth to 08:76:ff:3f:8b:90 (try 1/3) wlan0: send auth to 08:76:ff:3f:8b:90 (try 2/3) wlan0: send auth to 08:76:ff:3f:8b:90 (try 3/3) wlan0: authentication with 08:76:ff:3f:8b:90 timed out The last 5 lines from dmesg keep repeating a few times more.

Please advise!
