Hi,
I'm running Sabayon Linux, with a RT61 Wireless card, my Router is using WEP Encryption. I initially tried to set up using KNetworkManager, input everything and connected second time around. But randomly it will drop the connection, it seems to be anything from every 30 seconds to once in 4 hours.
Code:
loiwccalhost awlred # iwlist wlan0 scanning
wlan0 Scan completed :

Also when I boot I have to run the connection command twice in KNM to get it to connect, I don't know if this is relevant in any way.
Can anyone please help?
Forgot to mention; KNetworkManager doesn't register any disconnection but when I look at the statistics page there is no data being received, I've tried to bring up the router configuration page and that gives me no luck. My wifes Laptop has no problems with the connection, and when I boot into Windows there is no problem there either (except the fact I'm running windows)
