I'm using wicd-1.7.2.4-r1 and a NetGear DGN2200M v2 wireless AP |
2 |
(802.11n) |

|

Several times a day, this thing just drops wireless. I doubt it's my |
5 |
laptop as other devices in the house also get affected. When this |
6 |
happens I usually manually reconnect using wicd, it can do this |
7 |
automatically but there's a long timeout first before it realizes the |
8 |
connection was dropped. |

The router logs have very little in them, all I see is my laptop asking |
11 |
for and getting a new IP. Laptop logs show this: |

|

Oct 30 13:10:45 khamul dhcpcd[24141]: wlan0: carrier lost |

|
22 |
followed by the usual verbose junk of reconnection logs. |
23 |
|
24 |
I wouldn't even know where to start debugging this. The only unusual |
25 |
part of the setup is I don't use the router's dhcp server, that is done |
26 |
with dhcp-4.2.4_p2 on a separate wired Gentoo server. |
27 |
|
28 |
Anyone have a logical series of debug steps I can apply? |
