I'm using wicd-1.7.2.4-r1 and a NetGear DGN2200M v2 wireless AP |
| 2 |
(802.11n) |
| 3 |
|

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: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Oct 30 13:10:45 khamul dhcpcd[24141]: wlan0: carrier lost |
| 14 |
Oct 30 13:10:45 khamul kernel: [229075.169304] cfg80211: Calling CRDA |
| 15 |

| 17 |
13:10:45 khamul kernel: [229075.214911] cfg80211: (start_freq - |
| 18 |

| 19 |
khamul kernel: [229075.214913] cfg80211: (2402000 KHz |
| 20 |
- 2472000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) |
| 21 |
|
| 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? |
