2009-05-21 18:49:42 hR description I have an AR928X wireless card in my Asus M50-vM notebook and use the ATH9k driver in compat wireless. I use the bleeding edge package every day for several weeks to no effect. I am using wicd and I have tried ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 kernels 2.6.27 - 2.6.30rc5. When I try and connect to an access point it connects fine and I can see plenty of networks with a strong signal. On connect it seems to work for about 5-10 seconds then all the signals in my list drop to 0% and If I refresh or do iwlist scan, they are all at 0% but the same networks are there. It then proceeds to drop the connection and reconnect every 5-10 seconds and I can sometimes pull a little traffic through during these times. I have to restart to make the signals again reset to the correct percentage. Restarting networking or up and downing the interface has no effect whatsoever. Here is the output of "dmesg | grep -i wlan1", I hope it is helpful: [ 121.344392] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan1: link is not ready [ 121.407997] wlan1: direct probe to AP 00:18:9c:7c:dd:87 try 1 [ 121.425507] wlan1: direct probe to AP 00:18:9c:7c:dd:87 try 1 [ 121.428188] wlan1 direct probe responded [ 121.428196] wlan1: authenticate with AP 00:18:9c:7c:dd:87 [ 121.430129] wlan1: authenticated [ 121.430134] wlan1: associate with AP 00:18:9c:7c:dd:87 [ 121.432544] wlan1: RX AssocResp from 00:18:9c:7c:dd:87 (capab=0x421 status=0 aid=321) [ 121.432550] wlan1: associated [ 121.433242] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan1: link becomes ready [ 131.908021] wlan1: no IPv6 routers present [ 164.640051] wlan1: deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3) [ 165.008904] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan1: link is not ready [ 166.349384] wlan1: authenticate with AP 00:18:9c:7c:dd:87 [ 166.351587] wlan1: authenticated [ 166.351594] wlan1: associate with AP 00:18:9c:7c:dd:87 [ 166.353902] wlan1: RX AssocResp from 00:18:9c:7c:dd:87 (capab=0x421 status=0 aid=321) [ 166.353909] wlan1: associated [ 166.354576] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan1: link becomes ready [ 171.629088] wlan1: deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3) I attached the entire output below.
