|
|
Hello,
I've been having serious problems maintaining a steady connection to a wifi access point since doing a world update a few days ago, which included an update to kernel 3.5.7. I can connect and get assigned an IP#, but a few seconds to minutes later I'll get deassociated after a AP probe timeout. Some time after that, I'll get connected again, and the cycle then repeats. I've browsed the forum and seen that some other people have had similar problems, but it wasn't clear to me whether a real solution has yet been found. Here's my relevant system info -- let me know if you'd like more:
My wireless device, which I use with the b43 driver and wpa_supplicant:

emerge --info (omitting USE flags, etc.):
