ipw 1.0.3 update: getting random disconnects

[Samir van de Sand]

I'm using Ubuntu Dapper with Intel ipw3945 wireless adapter, which is managed by network-manager.
After kernel update -23 I'm getting random disconnects of my wlan connections (something like once every 30 minutes) and then it reconnects again.

I manually upgraded my ipw3945 driver to version 1.0.5, since then those disconnects disappeared.

GMC and I can both confirm this bug exists in 1.0.3 and is fixed by 1.0.5

[G Mc.Pherson (diggmc)]

I concur. v1.0.5 has corrected the sporadic disconnection/failure to re-establish a WPA connection to my linksys router, that were occuring with v1.0.3

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this linux-source-2.6.15 kernel bug to the new "linux" package. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Also, if you would be interested in testing the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release, it is available at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . Please let us know your results. Thanks!

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Right now I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and this problem doesn't seem to
appear anymore since a couple of Ubuntu versions.
