wireless network connection crap shoot
ok my wireless network connection seems like a total crap shoot. My wireless network card seems to only make a connection with my wireless router, like 1 out 5 times of turning my computer off and rebooting it.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be? ok my hardware: D-Link DWL-G510 Wireless PCI Adapter D-Link WBR-1310 Wireless G Router I'm running suse10.0 with KDE version 3.4.2 If anyone can give me any explanation or any advice on how to fix it, that would be greatly appreciated. thank, Jarig |
Hi,
It could be several things! I would check the AP channel settings to make sure no conflicts with neighboring wireless. It could be other wireless devices that conflict; phones, Network attached devices, or other WAP, whatever. You need to narrow the scope of the problem. Not enough information provided! |
I have a similiar problem with Mint.
Works fine under Pardus. I read somewhere you need to use the rt61 module instead of the rt61pci module (Can't remember where I read it or why it would make a difference). I'm gonna try it out now... |
Hi,

You indeed have a issue with hardware. You should do a 'lspci -vv' to see what hardware you do have. Make sure you have the proper modules loaded for the devices. What kernel? Check the 'lsmod'. |
If the card is occasionally connecting, it doesn't necessarily mean its a hardware problem, or module loading problem.
Aside from checking to make sure that the modules are loaded, you will probably want to take a look at the DHCP timeout (perhaps even first, since its a quick fix.) Your wireless setup may be taking long enough to connect that its at the end of the timeout period and so sometimes it'll connect, sometimes it won't. Since I had a similar type problem, it'll probably be beneficial for you to take a look at this thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...oblems-598754/ Look further down the thread for the WPAWAIT information.
