[SOLVED]No wireless since few days

Hi all,
My DELL Latitude E4310 works perfectly at home by using a WPA wireless connection. But, it stopped to work since 2 or 3 days. I'm using a french Freebox so I have two possibilities to connect :
using my private connection with WPA2 and using the public connection (no encryption). None of the 2 works. But, I can connect to my neighbor's public wifi !
Here are some informations :

lspci | grep -i net

00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 05)
02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (rev 35)

And when I try to connect, here are the logs :

Re: [SOLVED]No wireless since few days

This is due to the upgrade to kernel 3.1.5 (which was updated on 2011-12-13).  Upon downgrading back to 3.1.4, the issue went away for me.

My wireless card is from the same generation:

T:~ % lspci | grep 6200 
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6200 (rev 35)

Also, see http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wire … 81851.html for further details.

Thanks,
Ryan

Re: [SOLVED]No wireless since few days

Thank you,
Indeed, I downgraded my kernel to 3.1.14 and everything is ok now

Re: [SOLVED]No wireless since few days

Took me an eternity to find this. I'll add it to the wiki-entry for my Dell XPS 15z. you should do the same for your respective models.

Re: [SOLVED]No wireless since few days

Hi,
I had the same problem I downgraded to 3.1.4 and it works fine, but the problem persist with 3.1.6
As suggested here, https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27581?s … ect=1&type
recompiling 3.1.6 with the patch from redhat/linked by Pierre Buard fixes the issue.

Re: [SOLVED]No wireless since few days

Since some days ago wireless stop working for me too. The connection to router could be established, but the network stayed down. Based on the bug report on the url posted by Babiol, the problem seems to be related to 802.11n. I changed my wireless router to use 802.11g instead of 802.11n, and the problem went away. Of course it is a temporary fix until the kernel gets corrected, but I think it is more "clean" than downgrading.

Re: [SOLVED]No wireless since few days

The issue is solved for me by upgrading to kernel version 3.1.8 those before (3.1.5 to 3.1.7) didn't help.
