wlan0 timed out?
hello,
i use a wifi usb key on a mandrake 10.1. every thing works fine during the first 45 minutes. after 45 minutes, i have lost network wlan0. iwconfig returns this: IEEE 802.11FH ESSID:any Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462GHz Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00 Bit Rate:36Mb/s Tx-Power:17 dBm Sensitivity=0/3 RTS thr:2312 B Fragment thr:2312 B Encryption key:7654-3234-5678-1E43-E754-5672-14 Security mode:restricted Power Management:off Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 it sounds like if i was disconnected from the access point. and i don't how to reconnect. i tried a ifconfig wlan0 down then ifconfig wlan0 up. but it did not work. |
Hi, Try looking in dmesg for any related output (type dmesg in a terminal). It would also help if you gave us the name of your USB key, best would be if you gave us the chip used (lsusb could help a lot in this case).

OK, from what I've gathered, your card might use a zydas based chip. Try looking for a module with a name like zd1211 (#lsmod | grep zd). I think that if you turn off the device, reload the module and turn it back on, all should work.
Code:
#ifconfig wlan0 down Try running a ping request in the background, for me, it helps keeping my connection alive. Another thought, why use such an old distro? |
