I use net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-1.0 because the stable version didn't work with roaming wifi. sys-firmware/iwl6000-ucode-9.221.4.1 I actually suffer problems with 3.1 on this now too, albeit the connection works fine, the connection is very flacky on some specific networks getting errors like this in the log Sep 13 15:45:50 mkopp kernel: iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: Queue 2 stuck for 2000 ms.

Uhm can kernel team look into this? Because I seriously doubt that the firmware by itself is at fault, and I have no clue about the driver. Can you test with vanilla sources 3.5.4 or later (if available) and tell me if anything gets better? Hi, The best I can get right now is 3.5.3, and I found that this problem is worse the more APs I see in the same network, meaning the more roaming potentially is going on. In my current system it connects after the second or third attempt (there are 3 APs availabile) it however does disconnect and reconnect several times an hour. I will test this with 3.5.4 as soon as its available in my distro (which is gentoo so it shouldn't take long for vanilla to be there). Any report here? oh sorry, almost forgot about this. i am back on 3.3.8, as long as there aren't too many AP's with the same SSID it works nearly fine disconnects now and again. Didn't have a chance to test 3.5 yet It's been awhile here. Please comment if there are still issues with the latest kernels. |
