No wireless after upgrade

Title pretty much explains it. I wish I could be a bit more specific about what exactly was upgraded but just now getting around to trying to fix this after a week or two

dmesg | grep wlan0

Re: No wireless after upgrade

The NetworkManager stuff seems pretty successful? Maybe you could be more specific about what the problem is?

Re: No wireless after upgrade

I can connect to my home network fine but when I try to load any webpages..nothing happens. I can even open up a terminal and try pinging a website and it'll timeout. Its like Im connected to the network but have no net access...?

Re: No wireless after upgrade

Running linux >= 3.1.5 and trying to connect to an 802.11n network with iwlagn? Maybe this: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27581

Re: No wireless after upgrade

I'm seeing a very similar problem that didn't get fixed with Linux 3.1.8 today.

The only difference: I can transfer data for roughly 20 minutes before the link dies, then it is "dead" as the OP described. Can you judge if thats really the same issue? I still hesitate to comment on that bug.

Edit:
Bug is closed as fixed, but it isn't for me and another Thinkpad T500 (Intel Wifi 5300) user. NetworkManager doesn't bring up a useful error message in debug log mode, it just insists on the password being wrong which it isn't. Where else might I find some errors?
Ubuntu kernel 3.0.0-12 from a live cd still works fine here.

From the bugreport, fakefur speaking:

i'm having no luck still even with 3.1.8 ... my main laptop is a Thinkpad T500 with the 5100 wireless card ... even going back to 3.1.4 doesn't fix it anymore

my other laptop (a Thinkpad T41p) on sitting next to the T500 has no issues whatsoever in either arch or debian testing

This probably is a new thread...

Same for me with an Acer Aspire 5930G and intel 5100 wifi ..after random time the connection is lost, Wicd report connection is active and up ..in reality it is not i have to disconnect and reconnect always ..for now I use kernel 3.0.14 (work ok).

I solved the problem drastically, ..open my notebook and remove wifi hardware ( intel 5100 card) ..and replace with one of other notebook (same acer) this have atheros wifi card:

03:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)

Ok now work ok
