Hello friends,

I have some rather unnerving issue that I just don't understand. I have a lenovo W530 with an Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 using the iwlwifi driver (kernel gentoo-sources-3.15.1)
The problem is directly after getting the ip address via dhcp as soon as I try to connect to some server it instantly deauthenticates on 90% of the days.
Sometimes it works for some reason, but most days I don't have internet.
WLAN is provided by one of these crappy routers I am forced to use http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Q0DVEwyjerwJ:wiki.openwrt.org/toh/arcadyan/vgv7510kw22+

The really strange thing is, I changed nothing on this router at all except the ssid and the password and I have another one of these in my other flat with also nothing changed but ssid, iprange given out by the dhcp server and password
and there I have not seen one connection drop. I would try to return the router, but no windows box or phone ever had a problem with it. This really confuses and frustrates me, because a gentoo without internet is no fun.

Below is a log snippet from one of the deauths. Please give me a hint of what happens.

Code:

I had similar problem though with different card. One day, things just stopped working and WLAN would loose carrier as soon as I try to connect anywhere. It appeared, that latest update has pulled in firmware for my card that is bad. Masking this version and reverting to old one has fixed all my problems. So, maybe you should also check if your card has firmware and that firmware was updated.

The latest firmware is broken, you can get all versions here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi
Downgrade to the next lower version, fixed some problems for me as well (although I have one or two daily disconnects with the older firmware - better than no Wifi as all).
