network manager reconnecting problem
I installed Linux Mint Debian Edition (Gnome). One problem I am having is that I always lose wireless connection after the computer being inactive for a while. After I type password to get over the screensaver, the Network Manager loses its original wireless connection and reconnection always results in failure. However, if I reboot at this point, it becomes normal again (that is the only solution I have right now). I don't have a clue what is happening. Could someone please give a hint? Thanks.

because system sleep the network card, you must search the options which tells to system don't shutdown network card to save energy.
That the reason, maybe ACPI |
I had the same problem using debian wheezy, but it was my router. 2-wire router
Had connection would lose connection. Used password it would connect occasionally. If it's a 2-wire router, iwconfig shows encryption key a bunch of 4 digit numbers separated by "-". I copied the key minus the number in () lets say the number was xxxx-xxxx-xx (x) I copied xxxx-xxxx-xx<passwd> would look like xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx Hopefully this helps. |
After I replied machine reverted back to no networks available.

Okay. Still don't know what happened exactly but this quick hack works in my case. My wireless network card is "Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY". Whenever the wireless gets locked up after idling for some reason, I do:
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager stop ---------- Post added 04-27-11 at 07:35 PM ---------- Okay. Still don't know what happened exactly but this quick hack works in my case.
