When I switched to iwl3945 I had problems with a very unstable |
24 |
connection (just stable enough to allow wpa_supplicant to recover), |
25 |
decreasing effective bandwidth a lot. Enabling every suboption except of |
26 |
debugging for "Intel Wireless WiFi Link Drivers" in the kernel |
27 |
resolved it. |

Does it work with kernel 2.6.24? |

Maybe you could try wpa_supplicant with debugging enabled? |
32 |
|
33 |
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -d |
34 |
|
35 |
or even |
36 |
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd |
