I am using an IBM Thinkpad T43 laptop. It has an Intel Pro Wireless 2915 abg |
| 2 |
wireless card in it. This uses the ipw2200 driver. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
Most of the time when I use wireless, it is solid. However every few days or |
| 5 |
weeks (there seems to be no pattern), I run into a day where 6 - 20 times in |
| 6 |
that given day, the wireless just plain drops. I have to unload the modules, |
| 7 |
reload them, restart the network interface, etc etc. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
This is one of those days. In logs I see: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting. |
| 12 |
ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
This situation is extremely annoying. I have posted on lists before, but I |
| 15 |
have never found any solution to this. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Any ideas? |
