Smile Wifi connects for 1 second and disconnects on hp pavilion g7 intel wireless 1030 on Slackware 14.2


I’ve been having problems trying to figure out why I can’t keep stable connection on Slackware using wifi, I spend more than 20 hours researching this site and google with no resolution, I really need help, I even tried copying all firmware from working Linux distro to Slackware and still no result. Also when I’m using Ethernet the connection is stable but it shows that I disconnect and connecting every other second and it’s so annoying
And sorry not providing any more information I’m new to this forum, and I’m tired for searching a solution past 10+ hours thank you all for consideration and any help

Hi,

Have you tried disabling all encryption totally, for **testing purposes** only.. This will then immediately rule out any possible problems here.

NOTE: Don't leave your wifi "open" for any length of time.

Your Welcome, oh I forgot if you have the same problem after updating Network Manager then reverse what you did to /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/00-dhcp-client.conf
I don't know why but after I updated it the same problem happened and changing it back fixed it.
