Greetings,

Does anyone know whats wrong with my wireless network and how the errors can be fixed. You can see them in phpsysinfo or using the ifconfig command.

You can see my phpsysinfo here.

Here is my ifconfig where wifi0 has errors and ath0 has dropped...

The output of ifconfig will show you the same information for each interface, e.g., errors, dropped.

Networking errors aren't uncommon, especially on wireless, which is less reliable than wired networking. With that low number of "errors" I doubt you actually have any kind of problem to fix.
