[arch-general] Routing Problems with Wifi Link 5100

[Thomas Bohn]

Hello,

I use an Intel Wifi Link 5100 in my eeePC 1000H, since it appears to me 
the better card compared to the rt2860 which came with ther computer. 
But even this card is not w/o problems.

After a while (can't really tell how long this while is) I have problem 
to access websites or get the RSS feeds or even update my pacman 
databases. But other sites worked without problems, e.g. I could browse 
through the Firefox addons but I couldn't install them and I couldn't 
access www.heise.de but www.apple.com worked a little bit.

I could resolve the hosts w/o problems and I could ping www.heise.de w/o 
an error.

After a reboot everything went back to normal, turning off the wifi card 
or reconnecting wasn't enough though.

Linux proton 2.6.28-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 17 06:42:43 UTC 2009 
i686 Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270 @ 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

The only thing I could find in the logs is this (every 30 minutes):

---
dhcpcd[4841]: wlan0: renewing lease of 192.168.1.101
dhcpcd[4841]: wlan0: acknowledged 192.168.1.101 from 192.168.1.1
dhcpcd[4841]: wlan0: leased 192.168.1.101 for 3600 seconds

I hope someone can help me.
