Laptop WiFi drops connection frequently (brcmsmac)
Hi,
I have BCM4717 chip and I use brcmsmac driver. To establish connection I use net-profiles.
It drops connection very often and I can't even ping any server, but usually after 1 minute, everything backs to normal. What is happening? I installed linux on this laptop (Samsung QX311) for the first time.
Please help.

Are you using it on 802.11n? Or just 802.11g? I found out my Broadcom card worked fine on 802.11g but had quirks like yours on 802.11n.

802.11n.
How can I force using 802.11g (not on router)?

Module parameters are pretty limited, I did it by resetting my AP to 802.11g.
