Hi,
I am running an extremely old laptop (inspiron 4100) with lxde. The card I am using is a linksys PCMCIA the chipset is BCM4306 Rev 3.
The wireless would constantly disconnect and not reconnect using "Network-manager". I am now trying to connect manually from terminal using iwconfig (the internet here only has WEP) and it is not doing any better. Is this a driver issue most likely? Should I try to reinstall the network card?

anyone?

it might be an issue with multiple signals and your network manager selecting priorities on signals. You haven't chosen preffered networks to auto connect have you?
Offline
Yes, I have. I just tried wicd last night, and checked the automatically connect to this network box

but its only one in range that u have it set to autoconnect to right?
Offline
yes, only one.

Do you actually know from using other networks that the problem isn't the signal? Constant disconnects have only ever bugged me when the signal was weak or the connection really strained.

static ip addressing with a static dns is what I'm recalling helped way back.
I think the issues many of us are having with wireless has to do with dhcp connections.

Isn't the newest version of WICD in the repo's buggy?
I installed from AUR and it works fine now.
